Careers Specialist (Recruitment)

Location: North East Office, Peterlee Hours: Full Time | Monday-Friday | 9:00am-5:00pm

Salary: £34-£36k DOE

Find extraordinary people for extraordinary work.

At Nova Care Group, we don't just recruit people.

We find the exceptional individuals who go on to transform the lives of children and young people with complex needs. Every appointment we make has the potential to change a life forever.

We're looking for a passionate, organised and people-focused Careers Specialist to join our growing People Team. If you love recruitment, thrive in a fast-paced environment and genuinely enjoy helping people find meaningful careers, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity to build your recruitment career within a values-led organisation where quality always comes before quantity and every hire really matters.

What you'll be doing

As one of our Careers Specialists, you'll take ownership of the recruitment journey for Support Worker vacancies across the North East.

You'll work closely with Hiring Managers and our Senior Careers Specialists to:

• Manage recruitment campaigns from advert through to offer.
• Screen applications and conduct telephone interviews.
• Coordinate interviews, assessment days and selection activities.
• Deliver an outstanding candidate experience from first enquiry through to onboarding.
• Attend careers fairs, recruitment events and community outreach activities.
• Build relationships with colleges, Job Centres and employability partners.
• Promote Nova Care Group as an employer of choice across the region.
• Help us continually improve how we attract and recruit exceptional people.

No two days are ever the same. One day you could be running an assessment day, the next attending a careers fair or speaking with candidates about life-changing career opportunities.

What we're looking for

You'll already have experience within recruitment, talent acquisition or internal recruitment and enjoy working in a busy, people-focused environment.

You'll also bring:

• Level 3 or above CIPD qualification
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail.
• The ability to manage multiple recruitment campaigns simultaneously.
• A proactive, positive and solutions-focused approach.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office and recruitment systems.
• A clean full UK driving licence.

Experience within Health & Social Care or assessment centres would be advantageous but isn't essential.

Why join Nova Care Group?

At Nova Care Group, our people are at the heart of everything we do.

When you join us you'll become part of an ambitious, supportive People Team that is passionate about finding exceptional colleagues who make a genuine difference every day.

In return, you'll enjoy:

• A meaningful career with real purpose.
• A supportive and collaborative team environment.
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
• The chance to shape recruitment across a growing organisation.
• The satisfaction of knowing every successful hire helps improve the lives of children and young people.

Ready to make a difference?

If you're passionate about recruitment, enjoy connecting with people and want a career where your work genuinely matters, we'd love to hear from you.
