• Exceptional Service: Provide top-notch customer service to candidates and hiring managers, addressing any issues or queries promptly.
• Support and Assistance: Assist with various projects, recruitment campaigns, and social media content as needed, contributing to the overall success of our recruitment efforts.
• Digital Skills: Strong IT skills are essential. Experience using modern digital and AI-assisted tools to support administration, data handling, communication, and process improvement would be beneficial.

What We’re Looking For

• A collaborative team culture: We welcome new ideas, celebrate continuous improvement, and believe in the power of teamwork.

• Tailored career development and growth: Benefit from personalised opportunities to advance your career within a leading healthcare organisation. Take advantage of extensive internal career development programs and mentorship opportunities, paving the way for your professional growth within our Trust.
