This role involves high level communication with hiring managers and multiple recruitment / contractual agencies, therefore being able to explain complex rules or processes in a way that customers and colleagues can understand is highly desirable for this level role.
Building relationships is a critical skill and behaviour required for this role, therefore we are looking for someone who takes time to explore and understand other people’s perspective and needs.
The ideal candidate will look for opportunities to work in different ways to create efficiencies where possible and will be able to take on challenging objectives with commitment and enthusiasm! We are looking for someone who can think ahead, spot problems and take action to resolve them or alerts the right colleagues.
The Recruitment and Retention Officer is a fast-paced role with multiple conflicting deadlines. Although the role is fast paced, it is also a job of many rewards and management support!

Strong IT skills in Outlook and Excel are essential for this role. Experience of using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and locum recruitment systems (such as Matrix) is also highly desirable.
