Head of Talent Acquisition

About The Role

This role is for you if

You're already leading recruitment in social care - domiciliary, live-in, complex care, or supported living - and you're tired of firefighting vacancies without the authority, tools, or senior backing to fix the root cause.

At Trinity Homecare, we're serious about moving away from reactive recruitment. We're investing in leadership, strategy, and employer brand to build a sustainable, high-quality care workforce - and we're looking for a Head of Talent Acquisition who wants to lead that change.

About Trinity Homecare

We are an established, values-led care provider delivering high-quality visiting and live-in care across the UK. Our focus is on safe, compliant care - and we know that starts with the right people, recruited the right way.

This role sits at senior leadership level and has genuine influence over how recruitment operates across the business.

The Impact You'll Have

As Head of Talent Acquisition, you will:

• Take ownership of end-to-end recruitment strategy across domiciliary and live-in care
• Move the organisation from constant vacancy-filling to proactive workforce planning
• Build and strengthen care-specific talent pipelines through referrals, community engagement, and local attraction
• Shape recruitment processes that balance speed, quality, and compliance
• Influence senior leaders with data, insight, and labour market expertise

This is a role where recruitment is recognised as mission critical to care quality - not an afterthought.

What You'll Be Doing Care Workforce Strategy

• Lead recruitment strategy for high-volume Care Assistant and Live-in Carer hiring
• Anticipate workforce demand using care hours, growth plans, and attrition trends
• Design attraction approaches that work in real care markets - not generic campaigns

Employer Brand in Social Care

• Position Trinity Homecare as an employer of choice for carers
• Strengthen referral schemes, ambassador programmes, and local visibility
• Create compelling propositions for both visiting carers and live-in carers

Operational Excellence & Compliance

• Ensure all recruitment activity meets CQC, safeguarding, and safer recruitment standards
• Oversee DBS, right-to-work, referencing, and audit readiness
• Improve time-to-hire without compromising care quality

Leadership & Influence

• Lead and develop a specialist care recruitment team
• Partner closely with Registered Managers, Operations, and Regional Leaders
• Act as a trusted advisor on care labour markets, recruitment risk, and sustainability

About You

You're likely already in a Head of Recruitment, Recruitment Manager, or Senior TA role within social care and will bring:

Essential

• Strong experience recruiting in domiciliary, live-in, or regulated care environments
• Proven leadership of high-volume care recruitment teams
• Deep understanding of CQC requirements, safer recruitment, and safeguarding
• Experience improving attraction, conversion, and retention in challenging markets
• Confidence influencing senior operational and executive stakeholders

Desirable

• Experience across both visiting and live-in care models
• Knowledge of overseas recruitment or sponsorship
• CIPD or equivalent professional qualification

Why Move to Trinity Homecare?

• Recruitment has a seat at the table and senior backing
• Real opportunity to build strategy - not just manage vacancies
• Values-led organisation that cares about quality, not shortcuts
• A chance to leave a lasting legacy on workforce sustainability
• Competitive salary, flexible working, and genuine autonomy
