Senior Talent Acquisition Leader

We are working with a senior healthcare TA leader with a track record of turning recruitment chaos into a governed, scaled operation.

Currently:
→ Leading national recruitment for a large health and social care organisation through a major turnaround
→ Cut agency spend by millions a year and slashed team headcount by more than two-thirds, without losing coverage
→ Took the function from spreadsheets and no ATS to a fully governed, technology-backed operation
There's a bit of irony to this one: doing the turnaround job so well is exactly why this search now exists. Sometimes being brilliant at your job just means you work yourself out of it.

What sets this candidate apart:
→ Background spanning the NHS, global biotech and social care, including leading TA through the COVID-19 response across multiple Trusts
→ Genuinely comfortable in complex, financially pressured environments, thrives on solving the urgent stuff
→ Still hands-on with recruitment day-to-day, not someone who's stepped back to just run reports
→ Strong executive and board-level stakeholder management, not just a numbers person

Looking for:
An internal Talent Acquisition or recruitment leadership role with a larger healthcare, care home, elderly care or supported living organisation. Open to agency or director-level opportunities too, for the right fit.

Available for interview now.
