Recruitment Marketing Manager
New Today
London (Hybrid – 2 to 3 days in our office / nurseries), 9-12 month maternity contract.
Lead recruitment marketing that matters
At London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), we’re proud of our education and care across 40+ nurseries in London. We’re the best-rated nursery group in the city - and we’re also a charitable social enterprise, reinvesting every penny back into our children, families and teams.
We’re looking for a Recruitment Marketing Manager to join us on a maternity cover contract. This is a delivery-led role for someone who knows how to run campaigns, manage stakeholders, and get results - all while keeping things warm, inclusive and human.
You’ll deliver on our recruitment marketing strategy, manage our digital approach, and help us attract brilliant people for both our nurseries and central office. It’s a fast-paced, collaborative environment where we’re building as we go - so flexibility, creativity and resilience are key.
What you’ll be doing...
Lead campaigns that attract great people
Deliver our recruitment marketing calendar – ensuring urgent hiring needs are met whilst taking forward planned longer-term projects
Manage our digital approach, including people managing our new Digital Marketing Specialist
Write compelling job adverts and manage great ROI on job board spend
Execute bold, inclusive campaigns that support our diversity goals and employer brand
Work on projects like our new careers site, new year campaign, and EVP
Support early careers initiatives - from apprenticeships to school and college outreach
Create content that showcases why people choose LEYF - beyond just benefits
Collaborate with senior stakeholders including our Head of Recruitment
Keep us on track with budgets, timelines and performance
We’re looking for you to…
Be delivery-led, results-driven and like taking ownership
Know recruitment marketing inside out - with campaign and employer brand experience
Be comfortable working across digital channels and managing digital talent
Be a creative thinker in how the role is delivered
Collaborate brilliantly - kind, supportive, resilient and confident
Pivot quickly and work flexibly - we’re building the aeroplane while flying it
Understand ROI on job boards and ensure we optimise spend
Be curious about new tools and trends - including how AI can refine content
Be not too senior to deliver, and not afraid to challenge with courtesy and care
You won’t need to overhaul everything - it’s about improving and maintaining what’s working well, while helping us move forward. If you’re a campaigner at heart, with a passion for recruitment marketing and a knack for making things happen, we’d love to hear from you.
Why you’ll love it here...
Be part of something bigger: We’re serious about children, community and changing the system
Be trusted to deliver: You’ll have ownership and space to make an impact
Be part of a newly formed high performing team
Flexibility: Hybrid working and a warm, family-friendly culture
