Recruitment and HR manager

About Us

We're a small, family-run supported living provider based in Long Eaton, proud of the personal, hands-on way we work. We don't do “corporate” - we know our staff and the people we support by name, and we're looking for someone who wants to be part of that, not just manage it from a distance.

Our workforce is the heart of our business. Without the right people on the ground, delivering compassionate, high-quality care, we don't have a business - and we're looking for a Recruitment and HR Manager who genuinely gets that.

The Role

We need an experienced Recruitment and HR Manager to lead on recruitment, retention, and HR strategy across our services, reporting directly to our Head of Operations. You'll be central to making sure we attract, support, and keep the right people - because our care is only as good as our workforce.

Key Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end recruitment for care and support roles across the business

Manage our existing overseas worker sponsorships, ensuring full compliance with Home Office sponsor licence duties and right-to-work requirements

Oversee visa and immigration compliance for sponsored staff, including record-keeping, reporting duties, and renewals

Support CQC compliance across all HR and recruitment processes, including safer recruitment, DBS, and staff file audits

Manage the full employee lifecycle - onboarding, probation, performance, absence, and disciplinary processes

Build and maintain a strong pipeline of candidates to meet ongoing staffing needs

Work closely with the senior team to align HR strategy with business growth

Champion a workplace culture that values and supports our staff as our most important asset

What You'll Need

Proven experience in HR/recruitment management within health and social care or a CQC-regulated environment (essential)

Hands-on experience managing sponsored workers, Certificates of Sponsorship, and UK visa/immigration compliance as a sponsor (essential)

Solid understanding of CQC regulations and how they apply to recruitment, staffing, and HR practice

Confident, up-to-date knowledge of UK employment law

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills - you'll be dealing with people at every level, from new starters to senior management

A genuine passion for supporting frontline care staff and driving a positive workplace culture

The drive and initiative to help take our business forward - we want someone who sees this as their business too

Why Join Us

This is a rare opportunity to join a small, family-run business where your work will have a direct, visible impact. You won't be a small cog in a big machine - you'll be a key part of shaping how we grow, and how we look after the people who make that growth possible.

If you're looking for a role where you can really make a difference - to our workforce, to the people we support, and to the future of the business - we'd love to hear from you.
