About The Role
This is where HR administration meets real impact. Every accurate record and every well-handled query gets someone closer to starting a job that matters.
You’ll report to the Talent Acquisition Lead and sit within the Talent Acquisition Team, supporting our wider Talent & Engagement function. Your core focus is candidate and recruitment administration, but you’ll also get exposure to wider HR administration, including workforce records, payroll administration, employee relations, engagement, and general HR queries, giving you a genuinely rounded grounding in HR.
Day to day, you’ll administer recruitment processes end-to-end: adverts, interviews, communications and records, keeping candidates informed and supported right through to their first day. You’ll support pre-employment checks and compliance, including references, vetting, right to work and professional registration, and prepare contracts and documentation to a high standard. You’ll also produce recruitment metrics and reporting, such as time to hire and vacancy pipeline data, that help us keep improving how we recruit.
You’ll be a first point of contact for HR queries from managers, staff and candidates, resolving what you can and routing the rest to the right person, building the judgement and confidence to do more over time. And because workforce records, payroll administration and process improvement all sit close to this role, you’ll build a broad, transferable HR skill set that opens doors for the future.
