At Opus People Solutions, we deliver managed service recruitment (MSP) to over 25 local authority clients across the UK. Our model is built around expertise, ethical delivery, and long-term partnership - not just filling roles, but finding the right people who will shape the future of public services.

Manage multiple (often high profile) roles at pace while maintaining strong service quality
Build and manage trusted partnerships with a wide supplier base
Support workforce planning conversations by understanding long term client needs
Attending client meetings and supplier reviews to build relationships, understand challenges and plan ahead

We're looking for someone who:

Is a confident communicator - written, spoken, and on the phone
Can juggle a varied workload and prioritise effectively
Is curious and conscientious - keen to learn and deliver high standards
Has strong commercial awareness and a drive to exceed expectations (without pushy sales!)
Is comfortable engaging with senior decision makers, including up to Chief Executive level
