There won't be a dull day - you'll support the successful delivery of recruitment campaigns, promote our vacancies and oversee our recruitment and talent acquisition processes. You'll also advise on managers on retention and succession planning.

As our first in-house resourcing specialist, you'll have the chance to really make your mark.

HOURS: You’ll work 37.5 days per week Monday to Friday. We can consider 30 hours per week (across four or five days) if you would like to work part-time.
