Join a Market-Leading Recruitment Business

Pertemps Network Group — one of the UK’s largest and most respected recruitment organisations and consistently recognised as a Times Top 100 employer — is seeking an exceptional Cluster Manager to lead a high-profile, multi-site operation.

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a £30m revenue contract, supplying high volumes of temporary drivers (LGV 1 / HGV 1 / 7.5 Tonne) to a major blue-chip client across Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Leadership & Development

• Create and implement development plans for all staff.
• Provide senior HR escalation support.
• Champion new initiatives and continuous improvement
• Demonstrate visible, inspirational leadership at all times.

What We are Looking For

You will bring:

• Proven experience managing high-volume, on-site recruitment operations.
• Strong commercial awareness and financial control
• A track record of delivering against demanding KPIs.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills
• Confidence in making strategic decisions.
• Calm, resilient leadership in complex environments.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset

• Performance-based bonus scheme
• Company car & fuel card
• Flexible working
• High-profile, £30m account responsibility
• Genuine career progression within a leading recruitment business
