Trainee Recruitment Consultant in London

CAMHS Professionals is a specialist mental health staffing agency with a laser focus on CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services). We place clinicians and healthcare professionals into roles that genuinely change young lives. We have over nine years experience in the sector, we’ve placed over 20,000 candidates and have over 10,000 providers working with us. We’re one of the largest specialist staffing agencies in the UK and are listed on a number of staffing frameworks.

We're growing, and we're looking for our next Delivery Consultant to join our Nursing/Support Worker Division at our Hackney Wick office. This is a trainee role, no previous recruitment experience is needed. What we do need is drive, resilience, and a genuine desire to succeed.

The Role

As a Candidate Delivery Consultant, your main job is finding exceptional candidates and placing them into roles. You'll build a strong pipeline of Mental Health Nurses and Support Workers specialising in CAMHS, manage the end-to-end placement process, and develop relationships with candidates. This is a candidate-focused delivery role with no direct client management responsibilities; you'll inherit an existing pool of working candidates and will be responsible for maintaining, nurturing, and expanding this base. Alongside this, the role incorporates sales support responsibilities, ensuring vacancies are filled efficiently, candidates pipelines remain strong and all associated compliance, payroll, and administrative processes are completed to a high standard. This is a stepping stone. Perform well and you'll progress to Recruitment Consultant; but first, you need to prove you can deliver.

What You'll Be Doing

• Take ownership of an existing desk of active candidates and ongoing bookings
• Build and maintain strong relationships to secure repeat bookings and long-term engagement
• Maintain consistent communication with candidates to ensure retention and satisfaction
• Actively headhunt and resource candidates through job boards, LinkedIn, database mining, referrals, and networking
• Keep your candidate pipeline active, organised and ready to place
• Work closely with the Sales team to fill live vacancies and bookings
• Work closely with the Compliance team to ensure all candidates meet the required standards prior to placement
• Act as a point of contact for candidates regarding compliance matters, escalating where appropriate
• Work alongside the Payroll team to support the smooth processing of timesheets and pay
• Assist in resolving payroll queries by coordinating with the Payroll team and ensuring accurate information is provided
• Support in ensuring candidate timesheets and related information are submitted correctly and on time
• Draft, maintain and take ownership of candidate rotas, ensuring accuracy and up-to-date records
• Keep CRM and internal systems fully updated with candidate activity and booking information

What We're Looking For

• No recruitment experience required; full training provided
• A competitive, target-driven mindset. Someone who can take full ownership of their weekly and monthly targets
• Excellent communication skills; confident on the phone and in person
• Organised, reliable and able to manage your own time effectively
• Resilient; you bounce back quickly and keep going and are able to thrive in a fast-paced, target driven environment
• A genuine interest in mental health and healthcare staffing is a bonus
• Someone who can work collaboratively and contribute to overall team success

What You'll Get

• £26,000 base salary
• Up to £10,000 in commission in your first year
• Clear progression path from Delivery Consultant to Recruitment Consultant
• Full training and ongoing coaching; we invest in your development
• Full-time, office-based role in Hackney Wick (09:00 – 17:30)
• The chance to work in a specialist, purpose-driven agency where the work genuinely matters
• 25 days annual leave + your birthday off!
• Free gym access in Hackney Wick near our office
• Quarterly team socials and a friendly team to work alongside
