You’ll manage your own recruitment portfolio, acting as the main HR Recruitment contact for the services you support.

From the initial recruitment briefing through to appointment, you’ll provide practical advice, helping managers attract the right candidates, deliver fair, inclusive and effective recruitment processes, ensure appointments are compliant and create a positive experience for candidates.

This role is about more than managing vacancies.

• Provide advice on sponsorship, immigration and right to work requirements.
• Support employees through the redeployment process.
• Represent the organisation at job fairs and careers events.
• Deliver training and information/knowledge sharing events.

About You

We're looking for someone with a solid understanding of recruitment and experience of providing advice and support throughout the recruitment process.

• Have a genuine passion for helping people and delivering a great service.
• Have a strong working knowledge of recruitment best practice and employment legislation.
• Be confident building relationships, advising managers and understanding their recruitment needs.
• Be organised and able to manage a busy workload with competing priorities.
• Be proactive, taking ownership of your work and looking for opportunities to improve.
• Have an understanding of UK immigration and Home Office sponsorship requirements (desirable).
• Working Location

This is a hybrid role, meaning you can work from both home and the office.

You will spend approximately 40% of your working time in the office, including our team day on Wednesdays.

Benefits

• Up to 29 days annual leave entitlement (pro rata), plus UK bank holidays and two paid volunteering days.
• Membership of a competitive Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).
• Travel, lifestyle, health and wellbeing benefits.
• Performance‑related annual pay progression, in addition to an annual cost‑of‑living pay increase.
• Training and encouragement to expand your knowledge.
• A variety of career development opportunities across our organisation.
• Diverse and active staff networks.
• Flexible working options, with the right to request flexible working from your first day.
• Equality and Diversity

We’re big believers in potential, possibility and the power of different ideas.

We’re always searching for ways to encourage, respect and enable everyone to be the best they can be.

We want to represent the diverse communities we serve.

We welcome applications from all individuals, especially those from groups that are currently underrepresented in the organisation.
