Job Introduction
Talent & Recruitment Manager (Full time)
Location: Faversham
Salary: 45k
Lead the future of care talent. Make a real impact.
We’re looking for a driven Talent & Recruitment Manager to lead our recruitment function across homecare, residential services, extra care and our central teams. You’ll help grow a workforce that truly lives our SPARKLE values and delivers brilliant care to the communities we support.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll take charge of end-to-end recruitment across a wide range of roles, building a sustainable talent pipeline for today and the future. Expect to:
Create innovative attraction campaigns—digital, community-based, early careers, partnerships, direct sourcing and more.
Ensure accurate recruitment assets, careers website content and strong employer value proposition (EVP) alignment, strengthening the overall candidate experience.
Keep recruitment compliant, with clear reporting and smart use of systems.
Work closely with managers and the wider People, L&D and Operations teams to support planning, onboarding and reduce agency spend.
Manage agency relationships, negotiate terms and improve transparency around usage.
Lead and develop the Talent team, building a collaborative culture that reflects our SPARKLE values.
Support international recruitment and help ensure colleagues joining from overseas feel welcomed, informed and supported.
✨ What you’ll bring
You’ll have strong recruitment experience, ideally in a fast-paced, people-focused sector. We’re looking for someone who can:
✔ Build creative and impactful attraction campaigns (digital & community)
✔ Manage employer branding and influence EVP development
✔ Use recruitment systems, analytics and digital tools confidently (bonus points for Canva skills)
✔ Work with agencies and external partners strategically
✔ Balance operational needs with long-term workforce planning
✔ Understand safer recruitment standards and CQC compliance
✔ Lead, support and inspire a team
It’s a bonus if you’ve recruited in health or social care before, but it’s not a deal-breaker.
Why Avante?
We’re passionate about delivering outstanding care and supporting people to live fulfilling lives. You’ll play a key role in shaping the teams that make this possible—helping us attract people who bring heart, skill and a little SPARKLE to everything they do.
