Recruitment Manager (Home-Based)
Nationwide (with some travel required)

Together we can make a real difference.

Belonging to the Royal Voluntary Service community means inspiring volunteers to support the nation’s health and wellbeing. It means tackling the most pressing social issues in a workplace full of opportunities.

Through the gift of voluntary service, our volunteers provide much-needed support for over-stretched public services. They work at scale in the NHS, freeing up staff to dedicate more time to patient care and within communities to give practical help and support to people when they need it.

Our people are a welcoming team of individuals from every background who support one another to be their best. They are also some of the country’s most compassionate and dedicated people who step forward to help make society better connected and more inclusive - where everyone can thrive.

We’re currently looking for a Recruitment Manager to join us on a full-time basis and provide key recruitment expertise and support throughout our organisation.

The Role

As our Recruitment Manager, you will provide a stand-alone ‘subject matter expert’ recruitment service to our organisation. You will aim to increase the quality of hires at all levels in the most cost-effective way possible.

Working closely with the Head of HR, L&D and other colleagues, you will design and implement a recruitment strategy and associated policies that meet our organisational needs.

As a member of the HR Team, your role will also involve:

- Delivering a high quality, efficient staff recruitment service
- Ensuring our ambitions related to equality, diversity and inclusion are reflected
- Focusing on application attraction through digital channels
- Supporting our hiring managers to manage the recruitment process through the RVS HRIS

About you

You’ll be a creative, ‘ideas’ person who enjoys exploring alternative possibilities and options. Driven and determined, you’ll have ambition and the motivation to succeed, eagerly accepting targets and relishing the thrill of a challenge.

Well planned and organised, you’ll be someone who thinks things through in advance, considers the key stages and likes to monitor progress and map out future activities. You’ll be focused on quality and will pay attention to the finer details, whilst being dedicated to getting things right first time and not taking undue risks.

You’ll have good influencing skills and will be prepared to work collegiately to achieve good outcomes while not giving up easily and overcoming setbacks. Additionally, you’ll be happy networking and building relationships, enjoy talking to others and will be happy operating in a mutually supportive environment and sharing information.

To join us as our Recruitment Manager, you will need:

- Strong ‘in-house’ recruitment experience, possibly with some agency experience but not exclusively an agency background
- Knowledge of relevant employment legislation and best practice related to recruitment
- Good IT skills and in-depth working knowledge of the recruitment module of an HRIS, including use of an in-house ATS
- A full driving licence

A CIPD qualification would be beneficial to your application. A Level A&B qualification with the BPS would also be an advantage.

We’re proud to be in the top 25 not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK, based on ratings from Indeed. As a valued employee at Royal Voluntary Service, you will benefit from the following:

- A salary of £35,516.40 per annum
