Social Care Recruitment Manager – Manchester
This position is working for a Social care Recruitment agency based in Manchester
This is an established agency working specifically within the Social care sector.
Ideally, this role is for an experienced manager or Senior consultant looking for a Branch Manager opportunity.
The business is well placed within care and nursing with a strong compliance and administration team there to support the business.
This has always been a strong branch however though COVID a couple of people moved onto other sectors including the previous branch manager.
What the branch need is in needs is a strong manager that is able to drive a team and still enjoys the thrill of recruitment and success, its a really good opportunity for somebody to come in and put their own stamp on things. You will be supported by a regional manager that is very hands-on and offers practical help and guidance and you will have the autonomy to run the branch.
This may suit somebody that is currently working in a place where they don’t have as much autonomy as they would like or a place that’s only focused is making money over the importance of having solid relationships with clients and candidates or you may have been in the same place for a while and things have become stale and a fresh challenge excites you.
As a manager coming in you will inherit a small team with the headcount for additional people, the branch needs a nudge in the right direction to get to the very healthy numbers it had before, it will be a challenge for somebody but expectations are realistic and you will have all the tools and support needed.
The role is open to a non-billing manager, that’s ok but the commission scheme will be different, the agency will discuss and adjust it to be target-based (GM)
There is a culture within the business of billing managers and leading by example however the business is open to a non-billing manager if you can bring results and overall value to the business, however you want to run the branch it is very flexible.
We have been made aware that although there is no current working from home this is something they are more than prepared to look at especially if you have already demonstrated this throughout the various lockdowns.
