About Clements Young Clements Young is a specialist recruitment business supplying skilled labour to the Electrical, Mechanical, and Aviation sectors across the UK. From major airport infrastructure projects at Gatwick and Heathrow to high-profile commercial and industrial builds, we’re known for delivering exceptional service and reliable talent — every time. We’re growing fast and expanding our footprint across the South East. As part of that growth, we’re now looking for a motivated Recruitment Consultant to join our Haywards Heath office and play a key role in resourcing and supporting our ongoing success in the Aviation division. The Role This is a hands-on delivery and administration role — perfect for someone who enjoys fast-paced recruitment, building candidate relationships, and getting results.

You’ll need: * Excellent communication skills (both phone and written). * Confidence when speaking with candidates and clients. * A structured approach to admin and time management. * Drive and resilience in a busy, target-driven environment. * A genuine interest in construction or aviation recruitment. * IT literacy (MS Office, CRM or database experience preferred).
