Powertutors · Redhill, Surrey (Hybrid — 1 day WFH) · Full-time · Permanent
Help us build the tutor network that changes young people’s futures.
Powertutors is growing fast. We deliver high-quality 1:1 tutoring to SEND learners across the UK, including vulnerable students. The strength of our tutor network is what makes that possible. We’re hiring a Recruitment Specialist to proactively attract, screen, onboard and engage the tutors our learners need.
This is a hands-on, target-driven role for someone who loves the chase: sourcing on LinkedIn, following up on adverts the same day, moving candidates through the funnel, and making sure every tutor has a brilliant onboarding experience with us.
What you’ll do
- Proactively source tutors in priority subjects and regions via LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards and referrals.
- Own advert performance end-to-end — write, post, track and optimise based on response data.
- Respond to inbound applicants fast (within 1 working day) and run structured screening calls.
- Guide tutors through onboarding, Enhanced DBS and safeguarding compliance so they’re placement-ready quickly.
- Keep daily visibility of pipeline coverage by subject and region, and close gaps before they become shortages.
- Build strong early relationships with tutors, monitor NPS, and drive 90-day retention.
- Keep CRM data clean and report weekly on conversion, lead time and coverage.
What you’ll bring
- 2+ years in recruitment, resourcing, talent acquisition or high-volume candidate / onboarding coordination.
- Proven proactive sourcing experience (LinkedIn Recruiter and/or major job boards).
- Confident phone presence and a warm, professional communication style.
- Comfort working to clear KPIs and SLAs, and using data to improve how you work.
- Strong organisation and CRM discipline — you treat data accuracy as part of the job.
- A collaborative, relationship-first mindset.
Bonus if you have experience recruiting in education, tutoring, care, healthcare or another safeguarding-led sector — but it’s not essential. We’ll train you on the sector; we can’t train drive.
What you’ll get
- Competitive salary plus commission.
- 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays, pension, EAP and wellbeing support.
- Hybrid working (1 WFH day per week) from our Redhill office.
- A clear development path as we scale — progression into Senior Recruitment Specialist / Team Lead is realistic for the right person.
- Genuinely mission-led work: every tutor you onboard changes a learner’s week.
