Join the team behind every great first impression
Every new colleague's journey starts with onboarding, and we're looking for an organised, proactive and customer-focused Onboarding Assistant to help create a brilliant experience from offer through to day one.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join NHS Property Services' Talent team on a 6 months fixed term contract and play a key role in welcoming new colleagues to our organisation.
Who You Are
As our Onboarding Assistant, you'll be at the centre of a fast-paced, high-volume onboarding operation, helping to ensure every new colleague receives a positive and professional experience from offer through to their first day. No two days are the same. You'll be coordinating pre-employment checks, managing onboarding activities, supporting hiring managers and candidates, maintaining accurate records, and ensuring multiple onboarding journeys progress smoothly and efficiently. This is a busy and rewarding role, managing a high volume of onboarding activity at any one time. Success in the role requires excellent organisation, resilience, attention to detail and the ability to prioritise effectively whilst delivering a great colleague experience.
We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys managing competing priorities and is comfortable handling multiple tasks simultaneously. You'll be highly organised, proactive and able to stay one step ahead whilst delivering an excellent service to both candidates and colleagues.
What You'll Bring
We're keen to hear from candidates who can demonstrate:
- Exceptional organisation and prioritisation skills
- Experience managing a high volume of work and multiple deadlines
- Confidence juggling competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
- Experience working with systems, databases and documentation
- Excellent communication and customer service skills
- Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building abilities
- The ability to remain calm and solution-focused under pressure
- A proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement
- The ability to work independently whilst collaborating effectively within a team
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
