Do you want to shape how we attract, select, and hire brilliant talent? Can you bring pace, purpose, and a human touch to every part of the recruitment process? Do you want to add line management to your extensive talent acquisition experience?

Join us as our next Talent Acquisition Lead in the UK.

In this role…
You’ll take ownership of end‑to‑end hiring across multiple UK sites, partnering with hiring managers to plan roles, shape selection approaches, and deliver a smooth, fast, candidate‑friendly process.

You’ll lead direct sourcing for all salaried roles (excluding senior leadership) — LinkedIn Recruiter, talent pools, campaigns, events — building a strong attraction engine that reduces agency reliance and strengthens our employer brand.

You’ll operate our ATS with discipline and impact, ensuring clean data, compliant processes, and dashboards that give real insight.

You’ll create compelling job adverts and social content that reflect our voice and values.

You’ll identify bottlenecks, improve SLAs, and champion continuous improvement through templates, training, automation, and smarter ways of working.

You’ll also line‑manage a TA Partner who has responsibility for volume hiring in our factories. You will give them clear objectives and coaching to help them develop their capability and deliver potential.

You can do this...
If you’re experienced in in‑house recruitment, confident sourcing directly, and comfortable advising hiring managers in a fast‑paced environment, you’ll thrive here.

If you understand how to use data to influence decisions, how to prioritise when everything feels urgent, and how to design an inclusive, fair, and structured hiring experience.

If you’re organised, proactive, creative, and not afraid to bring new ideas to the table.

Bring your passion for people, your TA expertise, and your drive to make hiring better. In return, you’ll help shape the future capability of Vitacress — and play a big role in how our business grows.

Ready to lead with impact? We’d love to hear from you.
