JOB OVERVIEW

About Us

Valour Recruitment is a growing UK-based staffing agency supplying experienced support workers to children's residential care providers.

We are looking for a highly organised, proactive and reliable Virtual Assistant to support the day-to-day recruitment and operations side of the business.

This is not just a basic data-entry position. We are looking for someone who can take ownership of tasks, follow up with people consistently and help keep the business organised.

Main Responsibilities

Managing our recruitment and candidate onboarding pipeline
Reviewing new candidate applications
Contacting candidates and following up on outstanding information and documents
Keeping candidate records accurate and organised
Updating our recruitment/agency management system
Tracking candidates through each stage of onboarding
Chasing employment references
Booking candidate screening calls and interviews
Sending onboarding instructions and relevant emails
Monitoring outstanding training and compliance requirements
Maintaining recruitment trackers and spreadsheets
Keeping our active staff database organised
Managing and organising emails
Researching potential new care providers and business leads
Updating our client/lead database
Carrying out online research and data entry
Producing a short daily update showing completed tasks, outstanding items and anything requiring management attention
Supporting the Director with other operational and administrative tasks as the role develops

Who We Are Looking For

You must be:

Highly organised
Proactive and able to work without constant supervision
Persistent when following people up
Excellent at written English
Confident communicating professionally by email and messaging
Very comfortable using online systems, spreadsheets and databases
Detail-oriented
Reliable and consistent
Comfortable learning new software
Able to manage several tasks and priorities at once

Previous experience in recruitment, HR, healthcare, staffing agencies, compliance or candidate onboarding would be a significant advantage.

Experience supporting a recruitment or healthcare company would be particularly useful.

Working Hours

Initially approximately 20 hours per week, Monday to Friday.

There is potential for the position and hours to grow as the business grows.

We are looking for someone interested in becoming a long-term member of our team rather than completing occasional freelance projects.

In your application, please tell us:

Your previous experience in recruitment, HR, healthcare or administration.
Whether you have previously worked for a UK company.
What systems/CRM/recruitment software you have used.
Your current availability.
Why you think you would be a good fit for this role.
