Butler Rose is expanding its high-performing South West team and we're looking for an experienced recruiter ready to take ownership of a warm, established Accountancy & Finance desk.

This is an opportunity for a proven biller to step into an existing client base and build on strong foundations.

Why this role?

  • Backed by a well-established brand in the South West market
  • The autonomy to shape your market and grow your own business area
  • Clear pathway to leadership and team build

This role suits someone who doesn't want to start from scratch-but does want the freedom and support to scale.

What you'll be doing

  • Managing and developing a high-potential A&F desk across the South West
  • Building long-term relationships with clients and finance professionals
  • Driving billings growth while maintaining high service standards
  • Identifying opportunities to expand into new areas

Why join Butler Rose?

A high-performing environment.

Best of both worlds
We operate as a specialist boutique with deep client relationships, backed by a larger group offering:

  • Investment in technology and tools
  • Lead sharing across brands
  • Structured training and development

Growth-focused culture
As a Private Equity-backed business, we are serious about scale. You'll be supported to:

  • Increase your billings
  • Build a team or division
  • Progress your career quickly

True flexibility
Hybrid working that actually works-balance time in a collaborative office with the flexibility to work from home.

What we're looking for

  • A proven recruiter (agency) with a consistent billing track record
  • Experience in the South West market (A&F ideal, but not essential)
  • Someone with the ambition to grow beyond a desk
  • Commercial mindset with strong relationship-building ability

The rewards

  • Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
  • 25 days annual leave
  • Life assurance
  • Flexible working (office + WFH)
  • Regular incentives and bonuses
  • Gym discounts
  • Referral schemes
  • Industry-leading training & progression
