Recruitment Delivery Consultant Permanent

Love recruitment delivery but want a role with more purpose?

If you enjoy working with candidates, solving problems, and hitting targets — but want to move away from sales and business development — then this could be your ideal next step.

We’re supporting a national social enterprise to launch a new site in Stoke, delivering a DWP-funded back-to-work programme. The official job title is Employment Advisor, but if you’ve been working in recruitment delivery, resourcing, talent acquisition, or in-house recruitment, you’ll find the role feels very familiar — with one big difference: here, your focus is 100% on people, not fees.

Why this role?

• No sales / no fees – the programme is fully funded by the DWP.
• All about delivery – spend your time coaching, supporting, and placing people into sustainable work.
• Purpose-driven – make a real difference for those who’ve faced barriers to employment.
• Team culture – join a new supportive team of 10–15 advisors, all working towards the same goal.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing a caseload of around 70 participants, meeting regularly to track progress and set goals.
• Helping with CVs, applications, and interview prep.
• Matching participants to local vacancies and liaising with employers.
• Referring people for additional support — from self-employment advice to confidence-building workshops.
• Removing barriers like transport or work clothing, so people can start work successfully.

About you:

• Background in recruitment delivery, resourcing, talent acquisition, or in-house recruitment.
• Comfortable working to targets and balancing empathy with outcomes.
• Motivated by helping people achieve their career goals.
• Organised, proactive, and able to problem-solve in a fast-moving environment.
