In this role you will:

• Advertise vacancies internally and externally, creating engaging adverts aligned to the NGN brand and designed to attract a diverse range of applicants.
• Support hiring managers throughout the recruitment process, including vacancy briefings, advice on attraction routes, shortlisting support and use of the applicant tracking system.
• Champion equality, diversity and inclusion by responding to individual applicant needs and supporting reasonable adjustments where required.
• Carry out telephone screening or interviews in line with role requirements.
• Coordinate interview scheduling and rescheduling in a prompt, organised and responsive manner.
• Work closely with HR, Training and wider teams to support a smooth and positive onboarding experience.
• Support ongoing recruitment-related projects and improvement initiatives, contributing to process reviews and service enhancements.

We are looking for:

• Proven experience working in a recruitment or resourcing role, either in-house or within an agency environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with confidence engaging candidates and stakeholders by phone and email.
• Ability to manage a busy workload, juggling multiple priorities and recruitment activities at pace.
• Highly organised, with the ability to plan ahead, manage competing deadlines and maintain accuracy under pressure.
• A proactive self-starter who can work independently and provide a high level of customer service with minimal supervision.
• Comfortable adapting quickly and building effective working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
• Experience working within structured recruitment processes and systems, with minimal training required.

We encourage early applications, as the vacancy may close before the advertised deadline once we have received enough suitable candidates.
