Recruiter seeking a career change?

Recruiter wanting to use your skills to make a difference? This is a different career move with heaps of opportunities into the Employability & Careers sector.

We’ve placed a number of recruiters into this charity over the years, and they’re thriving. Many say it’s the first time they’ve felt they’re genuinely making a difference while still using the skills they built in recruitment. Many recruiters when seeking a change might look for in-house recruiter or talent acquisition roles. But are not aware of this sector.

This is a large, well-established charity with strong progression opportunities and long-term stability. They’ve recently secured a brand-new funded contract and are now hiring Employment Specialists into roles in Brent, Barnet, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hillingdon, Harrow, and Hounslow.

The role is ideal for recruiters or sales professionals looking for a career move into the employability sector — a growing space where skills like relationship building, influencing, managing targets, and motivating people transfer really well.

You’ll be trained as an IPS Employment Specialist, supporting people with health conditions or disabilities into work. The role is community-based, working across sites such as Job Centres, Council Offices, and NHS Trusts rather than being office-based all day. Whilst working in partnership with clinical teams.

Full training is provided through online learning, shadowing colleagues, and support from your Team Leader.

We’re interested in people with

• Recruitment experience
• Sales or B2B experience
• Experience supporting vulnerable people
• Or graduates with relevant experience (of the above)

PEASE NOTE - salary is £32,000 - £35,000 (depending on experience / interview).
