Employer Relationship Manager

You will identify and engage employers, understand their recruitment needs and build a credible vacancy pipeline. You represent Get Set UK externally, so employers need to trust that you understand their business and will put forward people with a realistic chance of succeeding. Working with colleagues and participants, you will make sensible matches between vacancies and the skills, circumstances and readiness of the people we support. You will follow opportunities beyond the introduction, tracking job starts and whether employment is sustained. Alongside employer prospecting and meetings, you will maintain accurate CRM records, coordinate with colleagues and follow up consistently. Not every employer conversation will convert. Vacancies will change or disappear, and some opportunities will not be suitable. You need the commercial judgement and persistence to recognise worthwhile opportunities and keep relationships moving.What success looks like You build an active employer network that generates genuine vacancies and employment outcomes, rather than activity that goes nowhere. Your pipeline is current and credible. Employers receive responsive, professional support, participants are matched thoughtfully and your CRM records are accurate and up to date. Ultimately, you can demonstrate job starts and sustained employment resulting from relationships you developed. The sales bonus of up to £800 per quarter directly rewards job starts and outcomes.The working reality This is a target-driven role where impact matters more than the number of conversations you have. You will balance employer prospecting, meetings, candidate discussions, CRM administration, internal coordination and outcome tracking. Employers will say no, plans will change and opportunities will fall through. You need to be comfortable developing new business relationships, following up persistently and being accountable for measurable employment outcomes., Apply through our recruitment platform and complete the short initial questionnaire. If you start your application through Indeed or LinkedIn, you will still need to complete this step before we can review your application. We assess your CV and application against the minimum essential criteria for the role and the evidence you provide. Keep your CV clear and concise and focus on what you personally did, owned, improved or delivered. One to two pages will suit many applicants, although up to three may be appropriate where your relevant experience requires it. If shortlisted, the process may include a recruitment call or Teams conversation, role-related questionnaire, assessment or testing, and a hiring-manager interview with a task, presentation or practical exercise where relevant. Get Set UK is committed to safer recruitment practices to help protect our colleagues and the people we support. As part of our recruitment process, you will be required to provide a complete and accurate history of your employment and other relevant activity for the previous five years, including explanations for any gaps, together with referee details covering the previous three years. Please ensure the information you provide is complete and accurate, as we may be unable to progress your application until our safer recruitment requirements have been completed. Depending on the role, further pre-employment checks may include references, right-to-work checks, DBS checks and/or other appropriate vetting. Any offer is conditional on satisfactory applicable checks. Preparation, responsiveness and attention to detail matter throughout the process.
