✔ Coordinating interviews and assessment activities.
✔ Producing contracts and new starter documentation.
✔ Completing pre-employment checks and supporting safer recruitment processes.
✔ Maintaining accurate recruitment records and ensuring our systems are up to date.

- Is confident communicating with a wide range of people.
- Takes pride in delivering a high-quality service.
