About the role
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this is a pivotal role at an exciting time in our journey. As we expand into new markets, you’ll have the opportunity to build a division from the ground up, shaping its direction and assembling your own team. You’ll be fully supported by a business with over 65 years of recruitment industry experience, equipped with the tools, infrastructure, advanced technology systems and resources needed to succeed.

This role offers clear progression opportunities, with the chance to evolve into broader strategic responsibilities as the division grows. This is a hybrid role, and we’re flexible on location, ideally based near a major town or city.
