Human Resources Administrator

As an outstanding-rated NHS Trust, we are transforming our recruitment and people practices to help deliver our vision of working together to improve lives, with compassion, diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do.

The HR Services Team provides a comprehensive range of transactional recruitment and employment services from the Trust Headquarters, Nuffield Road, Poole.

About the Role

The Human Resources Administrator role is the first point of contact for recruiting managers within the Trust, applicants, interviewees and existing staff. This role is a key element of the recruitment process from placing and closing advertisements, sending out interview invitations to initiating pre-employment checks.

The role has been designed to allow the opportunity to experience a broad range of activities within the team and is ideal for someone looking to develop their recruitment and HR related experience.

The successful applicant will be based primarily at our Poole office, with opportunities for some home working.

This is a fixed term role and for those with current NHS service, the role will be offered on a secondment basis only. Please obtain permission to be released on a secondment before submitting an application.

Please note visa sponsorship for this role is unfortunately not available. Ensure you hold valid right to work in the UK and will not require sponsorship if successful.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
