About the role
This is a great opportunity to join a busy, friendly and supportive recruitment function. You will work closely with our Recruitment Partner (Bertie) to deliver recruitment activity across the organisation. You will manage vacancies from start to finish, create adverts, shortlist with hiring managers, schedule interviews, manage candidate communication and support onboarding.
