- Taking ownership of end-to-end vetting administration, ensuring all mandatory and non-negotiable checks are completed, signed off correctly and recorded in line with policy

- Maintaining accurate and up-to-date vetting and recruitment trackers, ensuring records are audit-ready at all times
- Ensuring all onboarding documentation is issued, completed and returned within required timeframes ahead of proposed start dates
- Updating the recruitment tracker promptly following key milestones (offer, vetting completion, start date confirmation) to enable smooth onboarding and timely equipment set-up
- Preparing, coordinating and filing imposter checks on a new starter’s first day, ensuring all documentation is completed and stored correctly
- Supporting recruitment/sourcing activities as and when needed
- Proactively communicating with new starters ahead of day one to confirm readiness, resolve any outstanding issues and provide a warm, professional welcome
- Ensuring all candidate and new starter communications are fully documented and escalating any concerns or risks appropriately
- Supporting a range of activities across the Resourcing function, providing flexible administrative support to the Head of Talent and assisting with ad hoc tasks as required
