Job Description
Role Purpose
To provide hands-on talent acquisition and employer branding expertise, driving immediate improvements in candidate attraction and recruitment campaigns. The postholder will reduce reliance on costly agency provision, deliver EVP-led attraction pilots, and create candidate pipelines for hard-to-recruit roles (particularly in Children’s Services). Acting as both practitioner and advisor, the role will also inform the design of SBC’s future permanent talent model.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead direct sourcing activity using LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, and talent databases to generate pipelines of Children’s Social Workers, Team Managers, and specialist roles.
* Design and deliver “EVP-lite” attraction campaigns, working with staff and managers to co-create authentic content (case studies, testimonials, day-in-the-life stories).
* Partner with Children’s Services managers to implement fast-track recruitment campaigns with application-to-offer timescales of 20 days or less.
* Audit and optimise the candidate journey, ensuring adverts, careers pages, and application processes are inclusive, mobile-friendly, and engaging.
* Provide insightful data and analysis on attraction performance (click-through rates, drop-offs, time-to-hire, candidate diversity) to inform continuous improvement.
* Act as a bridge to the permanent talent team, piloting approaches that can be scaled up and embedded in future phases of Swindon’s 2028 Talent Model.
* Support HR leadership with advice on future resourcing structures, agency strategy, and alignment with organisational workforce priorities.
Skills & Experience
* Proven track record in talent acquisition within local government, NHS, education, or wider public/voluntary sectors.
* Hands-on expertise with LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS platforms, and recruitment marketing campaigns.
* Strong experience designing and delivering employer branding or EVP projects, with measurable impact.
* Knowledge of hard-to-recruit professions, particularly in social care, legal, and specialist frontline roles.
* Confident in using data and analytics to measure and improve recruitment outcomes.
* Highly developed stakeholder management skills; able to coach, challenge, and support managers in effective recruitment practice.
