About the Role

We're supporting an education provider to appoint a Recruitment Administrator. You'll provide the administrative backbone to their recruitment activity, keeping processes moving and candidates well informed from first enquiry through to start date.

You'll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, handling documentation accurately and keeping records up to date in a busy environment with competing deadlines.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Administering recruitment processes from advertising through to onboarding.
  • Arranging interviews and liaising with candidates and hiring managers.
  • Maintaining accurate recruitment records and updating systems and spreadsheets.
  • Preparing and processing recruitment documentation and correspondence.
  • Responding to recruitment enquiries by phone and email.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Strong administration skills
  • Excellent verbal and written communication
  • Good organisation, planning and time management skills
  • A high level of digital literacy, including spreadsheets
  • Ability to work to tight deadlines and handle confidential information

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Previous recruitment or HR administration experience
  • Experience working within an education setting
  • An enhanced DBS

If you're an organised administrator ready to keep a busy recruitment function running smoothly, we'd love to hear from you.
