Location: Worcester

Hours: 8:00am-4:30pm or 8:30am-5:00pm

Rated as one of the UK's best employers, Workforce was founded in 2003 and now has seven recruitment branches employing over 60 staff. Our specialist teams support more than 500 businesses across the UK each year, delivering temporary and permanent staffing solutions to some of the country's most respected employers.

We are looking for an experienced Recruitment Account Manager to join our established and high-performing Driving Division. This is an opportunity to become part of a thriving team trusted by some of the UK's leading transport and logistics businesses, including well-known household names where service quality, reliability and speed of response are critical to success.

This is a fast-paced, high-impact role where outstanding customer service and rapid response are at the heart of everything we do. You will manage high volumes of last-minute driver requirements, ensuring customers receive dependable solutions quickly, while maintaining strong, professional relationships with both clients and drivers.

You will play a key role in maintaining Workforce's reputation for service excellence acting as a trusted partner to customers and ensuring drivers feel supported, valued and well managed at every stage.

Service-Focused Role Not Sales

Unlike Recruitment Consultant positions, this role is service-led rather than sales-driven.

Our Account Managers are dedicated to supporting and servicing an established network of existing customers. The focus is on delivering exceptional recruitment experience, building long-term partnerships, and ensuring customer requirements are fulfilled quickly, accurately and professionally.

You will not be expected to carry out cold business development or high-pressure sales activity. Success in this role comes from your ability to manage relationships, think operationally, respond at pace, and consistently deliver outstanding service to both clients and drivers.

Why This Role Matters

This role sits at the heart of our delivery service and plays a vital part in the success of both our customers and drivers.

Our clients rely on us to keep their operations moving often at very short notice and the quality and speed of our response directly impacts their ability to deliver. This means the Recruitment Account Manager is not simply filling shifts; you are providing a critical operational solution that customers depend on every day.

You will act as a trusted partner to long-standing clients, ensuring they receive a consistent, reliable and proactive service, while also creating a positive experience for drivers through clear communication, support and professionalism.

Success in this role comes from balancing pace with quality managing high volumes of reactive requirements while building strong relationships that stand the test of time.

* Visit customer sites across the UK to maintain service standards and strengthen partnerships.
* Use in-house systems effectively to generate candidates and manage bookings.
