Enjoy recruitment, building relationships and having the responsibility to get things moving?

We're looking for an experienced recruiter to join Mash Care, covering maternity leave and managing recruitment for a portfolio of care businesses across the country.

You don't need experience in the care sector. You do need recruitment experience, ideally within an internal recruitment role, and the confidence to manage your own workload, build relationships and keep candidates engaged from their first conversation through to an offer.

This is initially a six to nine month contract, with the possibility of a permanent position depending on the needs of the business.

A little about Mash Care

We work with home care companies across the UK, helping them recruit the carers they need to support people in their own homes.

Our approach goes beyond posting adverts and forwarding CVs. We get to know each business, understand its local recruitment challenges and work closely with its managers to attract suitable people. For our clients, we become an extension of their team.

We're a small team, so your contribution will be visible, your ideas will be welcome and you'll have real ownership of your accounts.

What you'll be doing

You'll manage recruitment activity for your own portfolio of clients, keeping both candidates and branch teams informed and moving the process forward.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building strong relationships with clients through regular calls and clear recruitment updates.
• Understanding each branch's vacancies, working patterns, geographical requirements and employment offer.
• Writing and refreshing job adverts that give candidates a clear picture of the opportunity.
• Managing applications across job boards, recruitment systems and our database.
• Proactively searching for suitable candidates rather than relying solely on applications.
• Conducting telephone screening to explore experience, motivation, availability and suitability.
• Coordinating interviews, preparing candidates and following up for feedback.
• Maintaining candidate contact throughout the process to reduce avoidable dropouts.
• Working with branch teams to track offers, onboarding progress and confirmed starts.
• Keeping accurate records and using recruitment data to identify barriers and agree practical actions.
• Exploring local recruitment opportunities, including community contacts, referrals and partnerships.

What we're looking for

You'll have previous recruitment experience, ideally in internal recruitment or a role where you have managed vacancies from application through to appointment.

You'll also bring:

• A confident, personable telephone manner and the ability to build rapport.
• Strong organisation and time management, particularly when handling several vacancies or accounts.
• A proactive approach to finding candidates and following up.
• The confidence to have honest, constructive conversations with clients.
• Experience using an applicant tracking system, job boards and candidate databases.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to keeping records accurate.
• The ability to work independently from home while staying connected to a small team.
• A practical understanding of recruitment targets, candidate engagement and conversion.

Care recruitment experience would be useful, but we can help you learn the sector. Your recruitment skills, judgement and approach to people matter most.

Hours and location

We can accommodate 25-40 hours per week, with the working pattern agreed together. You'll need regular weekday availability to speak with candidates and clients.

The role is fully remote, with regular in-person meetings in Yeovil, Somerset. You don't need to live in Somerset or Dorset, but you must be able to attend these meetings.
