Some of the key responsibilities will include:

Recruitment

• Managing Pre-screening Right to Work Calls and the Compliance Screening process
• Scheduling interviews and liaising with hiring managers
• Preparing interview packs and ensuring all interview documentation is complete and stored in relevant locations

Strong communication and analytical skills as well as a good working knowledge of MS Word and MS Excel are also essential. Finally, you will be a diverse thinker with an adaptable and flexible approach and have a genuine interest in positive social and environmental change. It is desirable, but not essential, that you will possess an understanding of the different aspects of HR and some previous experience in a customer or public facing role.
