Gama Aviation are looking to welcome a Talent Acquisition Coordinator to our Talent Team. This is a fantastic opportunity, in a highly visible and fast-paced coordination role, where you will play a critical part in delivering a seamless and high-quality recruitment experience across the business.

As a Talent Acquisition Coordinator, you will take ownership of the end-to-end coordination of recruitment activity, acting as the central point of contact for candidates, Hiring Managers and the wider Talent team. You will be responsible for ensuring processes run efficiently, timelines are met, systems are accurately maintained and every candidate interaction reflects our commitment to excellence.

This is a hands-on, operational role that sits at the heart of our hiring activity, requiring strong organisation, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously. You will work closely with the TA Manager and TA Advisor, contributing to the delivery of hiring outcomes across a diverse and dynamic business. This role offers significant exposure across the organisation, giving you the opportunity to build strong stakeholder relationships, develop your expertise within Talent Acquisition, and contribute to key hiring and talent initiatives.

You will be joining a close-knit team that is passionate about recruitment and takes pride in delivering results.
