Regional Recruiter - Field-Based, Northern England

Not your average recruitment job.
We’re not looking for someone to sit behind an ATS and screen CVs.
We’re looking for someone who can land in a town where Routes Healthcare has never operated, work out who’s hiring, what they’re paying, and where the candidates are – and then build a recruitment pipeline from nothing.
Routes Healthcare is a CQC-registered homecare and complex care provider growing across Northern England.
Every time we win a contract in a new area, someone has to get boots on the ground and make recruitment happen before the service goes live.
That’s this role.
- What you’ll actually be doing
- Visiting new service areas to understand the local market first-hand – who the competitors are, what they pay, and where care workers actually look for jobs.
- Building geography-specific recruitment strategies for hard-to-fill areas, from advertising channels down to community noticeboards.
- Getting out and building relationships – Jobcentre Plus, colleges, training providers, community groups.
- Running attraction campaigns and building candidate pipelines, then handing applicants to our central team for screening and compliance.
- Reporting your market intelligence and pipeline progress straight to the Head of Recruitment.
- What we need from you
- 2+ years’ recruitment experience in a similar role – care sector or another hard-to-fill, high-volume field.
- A genuine self-starter who can mobilise a recruitment campaign from scratch, without waiting to be told what to do.
- Full UK driving licence and access to your own car – this is a field-based role and you’ll be travelling regularly.
- To live within commutable distance of Rochdale – our head office is here and you’ll be working from it at times.
- Confidence talking to anyone, from a Jobcentre work coach to a college principal.
- The honest bit
This is a brand-new role on an initial 6-month contract.
If it works – and we think it will – there’s real potential for it to become something longer-term.
You’ll be shaping the role as you go, reporting directly to the Head of Recruitment, with the freedom to run your patch your way.
Sound like you? Apply now – we move quickly.
