Job description

Are you passionate about finding top talent and helping them thrive? Join a fast-moving, people-first team where you’ll lead recruitment, shape onboarding, and support learning from day one.

Once people join, you’ll make sure they’re set up for success — owning onboarding through to probation, and using exit feedback to help us improve.

You’ll also support development: updating job descriptions, coordinating training, running workshops, and helping embed a culture of learning. You’ll analyse skill gaps, support progression, and drive meaningful career conversations.

How We’ll Measure Success

• Time to hire
• Headcount vs. plan
• Turnover rates
• Training hours per person
• Completion of 121s and development plans

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience across the full recruitment cycle
• Creative flair for employer branding
• Familiarity with ATS/HRIS tools
• Understanding of employment law and DEI best practices
• A data-informed, people-focused approach
• Collaborative, approachable, and resilient energy

What You’ll Get

A flexible role with real ownership, the freedom to try new things, and a team that values your input. Plus: a raft of benefits and flexible working pattern.
