At Rethink Mental Illness, our people make change possible. Every appointment we make shapes the quality, safety and impact of our services — and that’s why this role matters.

About the role
This role plays a key part in building and sustaining a diverse, skilled and values‑aligned workforce across the organisation.
Working closely with senior leaders and hiring managers, you’ll provide an end‑to‑end, values‑led recruitment service, with a particular focus on specialist, managerial and senior appointments. You’ll bring a proactive, search‑led approach — identifying and engaging high‑quality talent who may not already be looking, and representing Rethink authentically and credibly in the market.
While the role includes responsibility for supporting frontline and operational recruitment where needed, its core strength lies in executive search, complex hiring and trusted partnership with leaders. You’ll balance pace with care, and ambition with integrity, ensuring every recruitment journey reflects our commitment to inclusion, safety and respect.

Strategic partnering and workforce insight
Executive search, specialist recruitment and proactive sourcing
End‑to‑end recruitment and onboarding
Inclusion, experience and continuous improvement
