Apprentice HR Administrator (Recruitment) in London

We have an exciting development opportunity within the Talent and Resourcing team for a proactive and highly organised individual to support the recruitment service. The Apprentice HR Administrator will be an integral part of the Talent and Resourcing Team, working closely with hiring managers to deliver an efficient recruitment service. Working with a dedicated training provider, you will work towards an HR Level 3 accredited qualification and we will equip you with the skills and knowledge required to succeed and develop in the role.

This is a busy, varied role and no two days are the same. We operate with a hybrid work model, requiring successful candidates to attend the office or designated work location for a minimum of 3 days per week, one of which must be a Monday or Friday. If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding place to work, we can offer you the opportunity to develop your HR career in a stimulating environment as well as access to excellent facilities and staff benefits.

To be eligible to apply for this role, you must meet the following criteria:

• Be a Barking and Dagenham resident
• Be aged 16 years and over
• Have the right to live and work in the UK

IMPORTANT: Apprenticeship opportunities advertised externally are for residents of London Borough of Barking & Dagenham only and care leavers of Barking and Dagenham will be offered an interview if they meet the minimum criteria. Applicants must not already hold an equivalent qualification or higher in the advertised apprenticeship subject area.

You will be adept at multi-tasking and unfazed by the demands of multiple stakeholders. You will possess excellent communication skills, together with a positive, professional manner and the ability to work with others effectively. Given the nature of this role, excellent attention to detail is critical, as is the ability to use your own initiative, prioritise effectively and work to deadlines. The successful candidate will be a self-motivated, enthusiastic team player who shares the Council's core values:

• Deliver our best every day - and do what we promise
• Respond in a prompt, positive way to our community's needs
• Inspire others with our attitudes and actions
• Value people for who they are and what they can do
• Engage with others to improve our resilience and flexibility

Our borough is vibrant and diverse, and this is something we are proud of. We value the diversity of people who live, work and visit Barking and Dagenham and it is our vision to create a place where people understand, respect and celebrate each other’s differences. We offer a competitive pay package, a positive approach to flexible and dispersed working arrangements, investment in your learning and development as well as a commitment to your wellbeing. In addition to this, we offer a generous pension scheme, wider wallet store discounts, discounted gym membership and season/travel ticket loan.

We operate a Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS). This guarantees progression to the first stage of a selection process (such as test, assessment exercise and interview) to any candidate with a disability who has applied under the GIS scheme. In addition to this, we would also consider any reasonable adjustments requests from candidates at all stages of our selection process.
