As part of their continued success, the appointment of the HR and Talent Acquisition Specialist, is critical in supporting the Recruitment, HR and Leadership teams in the next phased growth and direction of the company.


The role is very fast paced but equally a great opportunity to drive the talent and resourcing function within the business. You will join a very friendly, close-knit, down-to-earth, hard-working and pro-active team who are results driven and fun to work with. (I can vouch for this, as four of the team members I placed there myself!) A sense of humour is essential too!


Whilst you may not know the products and services, each day the company works with businesses that are impacting the lives of millions of people in the UK. It is an ambitious, financially secure organisation, with a clear strategy to grow the UK service industry with an unrelenting desire to become an employer of choice. They truly see people as their biggest asset.

The focus is on supporting 9 sites with a head count of c1,200. Part of your duties will be to screen and recommend to management, candidates for short listing, whilst being creative in looking at ways to attract talent. You will work closely with a number of colleagues from the leadership teams to fully understand, support and attract the right calibre of talent and then of course put in a plan of action to identify the right individuals. There is a strong element of administration that accompanies the role in respect of diary management for Teams and / or face to face interviews, ad-hoc project work which may cover benchmarking and advising on market trends, involvement in ways to attract graduate calibre professions as well as involvement with social media and creating the right pipeline of talent.



You will be keen to throw yourself into this role and see this as a great opportunity to learn and develop your skills in a dynamic and fast paced environment. As an individual, you will be pro-active, resilient and self-motivated with a positive way of thinking, highly personable, diplomatic, professional and possess exceptional communication skills. A very pragmatic, hands-on approach will be required.


This is an exceptional opportunity to really make a positive mark within the team and preference will be given to well-educated, career oriented, ambitious individuals who are interested in continued personal and professional development. Support will be given to complete additional courses / training qualifications to develop your skills, as there are genuine prospects within this multi-national business for career-oriented individuals.


A driving licence is also required!
