About the job

Job summary

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the UK's largest producer of official statistics and home to over 5,000 colleagues. We create the data that drives decisions, from measuring economic growth and tracking population changes to informing policy on everything from housing to healthcare. Our statistics don't just sit in reports; they directly influence how billions of pounds are allocated, how services are planned, and how communities are supported across the country.

Census 2031 represents our most ambitious data collection project yet a once-in-a-decade opportunity to capture a complete picture of everyone living in England and Wales. Building on the digital success of 2021, we're pioneering new ways to reach every household and community, ensuring no one is left uncounted. This vital work will provide the foundation for policy decisions, resource allocation, and community planning for the next decade.

Job description

Are you ready to be part of something that shapes the future of our nation? Do you thrive on variety, enjoy working with lots of teams, and want to make a real difference? If so, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

The Recruitment Operations Officer is a key role within the dedicated Census HR Operations function.

Working to the Recruitment Operations Manager, this role is responsible for supporting the delivery of recruitment and onboarding activity, working closely with business areas and external suppliers to ensure activity is delivered in line with agreed requirements, timelines and quality expectations.

The role plays an active part in shaping and refining recruitment requirements, working with business areas to ensure roles, locations and expectations are clear, realistic and deliverable, and translating these into effective delivery through suppliers.

This includes identifying risks such as shortfalls in applicant numbers or changes in demand, understanding the implications, and working with stakeholders and suppliers to support appropriate responses.

The role maintains oversight of recruitment pipelines and onboarding progress, using data and operational insight to support delivery, challenge where required and ensure activity remains aligned and on track.

Managing Recruitment Challenges

Identify and respond to challenges in recruitment delivery, including shortfalls, changing demand or local market constraints, contributing to practical and timely solutions.

Applying Market Insight

Use knowledge of recruitment delivery and the external market to inform decisions, challenge assumptions and support effective outcomes.

Supporting Supplier Delivery

Support delivery of recruitment and onboarding activity through suppliers, ensuring activity meets agreed timelines and quality expectations.

Performance Monitoring and Insight

Monitor recruitment progress and pipeline, using data and operational insight to inform actions and escalate risks where needed.

Managing Change to Requirements

Manage changes to recruitment requirements, working with stakeholders and suppliers to understand impacts and implement adjustments.

End-to-End Alignment

Work collaboratively with colleagues across recruitment, onboarding and training to ensure an aligned and effective end-to-end process.

Stakeholder and Supplier Relationships

Build and maintain effective working relationships with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to support delivery.
