Our ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills, experience of working in a busy recruitment or administration team, an eye for detail and the ability to multi-task and prioritise your workload effectively working to tight deadlines.

A high degree of accuracy is required for the role and knowledge of HR processes and equality and diversity would be advantageous.

The role will predominantly be responsible for the end to end transactional service for all medical and dental recruitment drives (dealing with all doctors from Foundation level through to Consultants and Dentists).  You will be expected to co-ordinate interview panels for consultant recruitment which will involve communication with relevant Royal College representatives and senior members of the Trust.

The role will require you to work as part of a team and on your own initiative, liaising with Recruiting Managers throughout the organisation ensuring successful candidates are processed efficiently and accurately.

You will be part of a supportive and proactive team who are responsible for administering our end to end recruitment process from advertising vacancies through to carrying out pre-employment checks and issuing employment contracts.

Previous experience using the NHS jobs system / Trac Recruitment system, ESR (electronic staff record) system or knowledge of UKVI and the sponsor management system is desirable but not essential as full training will be given.
