About the Role

A further education provider in the North West is looking for a Recruitment Assistant to support the day-to-day running of its recruitment activity.

You'll provide administrative support across the recruitment process, helping vacancies move smoothly from advertising through to appointment. You'll be a first point of contact for candidates and hiring managers, so clear communication and a well-organised approach matter more here than anything else.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the administration of recruitment campaigns from advert to offer.
• Arranging interviews and liaising with candidates and hiring managers.
• Maintaining accurate recruitment records and candidate information.
• Responding to recruitment enquiries by phone and email.
• Supporting pre-employment checks and related paperwork.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Strong administrative and organisational skills
• Accuracy and attention to detail when handling records and paperwork
• Confident communication with candidates and colleagues at all levels
• Ability to manage a varied workload and competing deadlines

Desirable (but not essential):

• Previous experience in a recruitment or HR support role
• Experience working within further education

If you're an organised administrator who enjoys keeping things moving and working with people, we'd love to hear from you.
