Are you looking to move from agency to In-House? Ready to take what you have learnt internally elsewhere and bring that with you to AJ Bell? Due to growth we are now recruiting a further In House Recruiter/Internal Recruiter to deliver agreed recruitment and resourcing requirements across the business.

We are an ambitious company with ambitious growth plans and this can only be achieved by bringing the right people into the business. The recruitment team has grown from a single recruiter to a team of seven in the past five years and we are looking to add a further recruiter to the team.

The role involves being able to quickly understand specific recruitment requirements, and determining the most effective routes to hire, which do not compromise on candidate quality.
