Hired for a job that doesn’t exist…

I was hired to a job that apparently someone was already in. I've been given no direction and have been taking on odd jobs. The lady in the job that I was hired for very clearly dislikes me. Honestly, who can blame her. But also, why did they hire me in the first place? When I was hired, I told them I was looking for more responsibility. I was looking for a role like the one I was hired for. This is what I wanted to do… Now, I've been suddenly demoted and the woman who dislikes me is my manager. I've switched jobs a lot previously (usually with a big pay bump) so now I look like a “job hopper”, which, honestly, I never wanted to be. How do I explain this to a recruiter? Or even have them hear me out?
