Key Responsibilities
-
Recruitment Strategy & Process Improvement: Develop and implement a proactive internal recruitment strategy, introducing more structured, consistent and effective processes to support recruitment across the business.

-
Team Leadership: Manage, support and develop a small recruitment team, encouraging collaboration, accountability and a high standard of service across the business.
-
Recruitment Performance & Continuous Improvement: Introduce meaningful recruitment reporting and performance measures, using data and market insight to identify improvements, enhance the candidate experience and deliver better recruitment outcomes.

-

-
Experience of developing and implementing an internal recruitment strategy, including introducing more structured processes, improving direct sourcing and reducing reliance on agencies.
-

-
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the confidence to advise, influence and challenge senior leaders and hiring managers when appropriate.
-
Previous experience of managing or developing a small team, with a collaborative, supportive and people-focused approach to leadership.
-
A proactive, hands-on and solutions-focused approach, with the ability to hit the ground running, take ownership and deliver meaningful improvements with minimal handover or support.
- Desirable qualifications: CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent), REC accreditation or a relevant degree/professional qualification in HR, Business or a related discipline would be advantageous, although relevant practical experience and a commitment to professional development are equally valued.
