HR | Recruitment | People Operations | Career Development

Are you passionate about people, love finding great talent and want to work somewhere your ideas genuinely matter?

Imagine joining a growing, ambitious private healthcare business where you can make a real impact, work closely with senior leadership and help build a fantastic workplace culture.

We are delighted to be recruiting for an exciting HR & Talent Officer opportunity with a growing private healthcare business with ambitious plans for the future.

This isn't simply another HR administration position. It's a newly created role offering the opportunity to take ownership, introduce fresh ideas and play an important part in shaping the company's People & Talent function.

If you're looking for a role where you'll be valued, trusted and encouraged to develop, this could be the perfect next step.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

You’ll be joining a business operating in one of the most exciting and evolving sectors: private healthcare.

As the company continues to grow, attracting exceptional people, building strong teams and creating a positive employee experience are central to its success.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Work closely with senior leadership and gain valuable exposure to the wider business.
• Take genuine ownership of recruitment and help attract outstanding talent.
• Help shape HR processes, employee engagement and workplace culture.
• Introduce new ideas and see the direct impact of your work.
• Develop your skills across both HR and talent acquisition.
• Grow professionally alongside an ambitious and expanding organisation.

The Role

This is a varied, hands-on position combining recruitment, HR operations and people support.

You’ll be one of the go-to person for recruitment, helping the business attract, hire and welcome talented individuals across clinical and non-clinical teams.

Alongside this, you’ll support the employee lifecycle and help ensure the business continues to be a great place to work.

Key Responsibilities

Talent Acquisition & Recruitment

• Managing recruitment campaigns from initial briefing through to offer.
• Writing engaging job adverts and proactively sourcing candidates.
• Conducting screening interviews and coordinating the interview process.
• Building strong relationships with hiring managers and candidates.
• Developing talent pipelines to support future business growth.
• Delivering a positive, professional candidate experience.

HR & People Operations

• Supporting onboarding and creating a welcoming experience for new starters.
• Preparing employment contracts, offer letters and HR documentation.
• Maintaining employee records and coordinating pre-employment checks.
• Supporting probation reviews, absence management and employee queries.
• Assisting with HR policies, employee engagement and people initiatives.
• Helping improve systems and processes as the business expands.

Who Are We Looking For?

We're looking for someone bright, personable, proactive and genuinely passionate about people.

Someone who enjoys building relationships, takes initiative and thrives in a role where no two days are the same.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience in HR, recruitment, talent acquisition or people operations.
• Confidence managing recruitment independently, including sourcing and interviewing candidates.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Strong organisational abilities and attention to detail.
• A positive, approachable and solutions-focused attitude.
• The confidence to work with senior stakeholders and manage multiple priorities.
• A genuine interest in improving processes and contributing to business growth.

Experience within healthcare would be advantageous but is not essential. Candidates from growing businesses, professional services and other people-focused environments are equally welcome.

A CIPD qualification would be beneficial, but we’re equally interested in practical experience, personality and potential.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a growing private healthcare business at an exciting stage of its journey.

Rather than becoming one of many within a large corporate HR department, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible difference, develop meaningful relationships across the business and contribute to how the People & Talent function evolves.

You’ll be trusted with responsibility, encouraged to bring forward ideas and given the opportunity to broaden your experience as the company grows.

We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with a business, make an impact and build a rewarding career in HR and Talent.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
