We are looking for an experienced contract recruiter who understands how to sell into the UK public sector and can deliver high-quality contractors at pace. You will already know how government buying cycles work and be comfortable managing relationships across central government, local authorities, healthcare, blue-light and arm’s-length bodies.

* Drive outbound prospecting and relationship-building with hiring managers across public sector accounts
* Manage the full recruitment lifecycle: sourcing, screening, compliance, onboarding and post-placement care
* Support tendered opportunities and SoW engagements where contractor capability is required
* Maintain accurate reporting, pipeline management and compliance to framework standards (IR35, security clearance processes, CCS rules etc)
What you bring
* Proven experience in UK public sector contract recruitment (essential)
* Strong commercial confidence in selling into government departments, NHS, councils or blue-light
* Ability to build fast, reliable contractor pipelines
* Understanding of IR35, security clearance routes and public sector buying processes
