Recruitment & Development Lead – Part-time

Job Advert

Recruitment \& Development Lead – Part\-time; 30 hours (over 5 or 4 days, with 3 days in the office)

Redditch \| Part\-Time

Recruitment isn't just filling vacancies. It's building the future of a business.

We're looking for a Recruitment \& Development Lead who thrives on momentum, enjoys influencing people and loves finding better ways of doing things.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to simply post jobs and manage an inbox.

We're looking for someone who sees recruitment as a commercial function. Someone who gets excited about talent pipelines, employer branding, succession planning, apprenticeships and improving how we attract, assess and develop great people.

You'll be our recruitment specialist and trusted advisor, partnering with hiring managers and senior leaders across the business to identify talent, challenge thinking, improve hiring outcomes and ensure we continue to attract exceptional people.

If you're energised by variety, enjoy building relationships, have a creative mindset and take real ownership for results, we'd love to hear from you.

Oh, and we’re a Great Place To Work, by the way! No, officially, we have Great Place To Work Certification, which recognises organisations with exceptional workplace culture based on employee feedback and engagement.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll lead recruitment activity across a wide variety of roles and locations, while playing a key role in shaping our talent strategy.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading end\-to\-end recruitment across volume and specialist vacancies


• Developing creative sourcing strategies and talent pipelines


• Partnering with managers to deliver excellent hiring outcomes


• Building and promoting our employer brand


• Managing and improving our careers page, ATS and recruitment technology


• Producing meaningful recruitment insights and data


• Supporting succession planning and talent development initiatives


• Coordinating and promoting apprenticeship opportunities across the business


• Enhancing onboarding and ensuring an excellent candidate experience


• Driving continuous improvement in recruitment processes and practices

What Makes This Role Different?

This is a standalone specialist role with genuine ownership.

You'll have the freedom to:

• Challenge the status quo


• Test new ideas and improve how we recruit


• Build talent communities and pipelines


• Influence senior leaders


• Shape our employer brand


• Use technology, data and creativity to improve outcomes


• Play a key role in developing our future talent

If you enjoy being trusted to get on with things and making a visible impact, this role offers plenty of opportunity.

We're Looking For Someone Who...

• Has experience within recruitment, talent acquisition or a recruitment\-focused HR role


• Builds strong relationships quickly and confidently


• Brings energy, pace and urgency to everything they do


• Communicates brilliantly with people at all levels


• Is commercially minded and solutions\-focused


• Enjoys influencing, negotiating and challenging constructively


• Can manage multiple priorities without losing attention to detail


• Uses data and insight to make decisions


• Thinks creatively about attracting talent


• Is resilient, adaptable and comfortable working in a fast\-moving environment


• Loves finding better ways of doing things

You'll Particularly Enjoy This Role If...

You are someone who:

• Spots opportunities others miss


• Gets frustrated by unnecessary bureaucracy


• Naturally takes ownership rather than waiting to be asked


• Enjoys networking and building relationships


• Likes turning ideas into action


• Balances creativity with organisation


• Wants to be known as the person who makes things happen
