An in house Recruitment Administration role offered on a Full Time basis for a period of 12 months.

A fantastic opportunity to join a really lovely, professional team to cover a member of staff who will be going off on maternity leave at the end of this year. Directly working with the Head of Recruitment plus a Recruitment Advisor, this position will sit alongside their HR team dealing with a wide range of admin based duties.

This is a busy role and will suit someone who is extremely organised, has excellent communication skills and enjoys working in a professional environment. Along with ensuring the smooth delivery of all recruitment admin duties, the successful individual will also be the first point of contact for any internal or external recruitment matter. The firm have recently rolled out a new Recruitment/HR database so there will be a lot of work relating to the upkeep and entry of information.

Day to day responsibilities will include duties such as:

• Acting as the initial point of contact for recruitment queries by phone and email, passing matters to the appropriate members of the HR team.
• Provide administrative support for the recruitment processes. Ensure candidate details are recorded correctly, and that the recruitment stages have been captured. Where necessary make interview arrangements and deal with correspondence to/from job applicants and/or recruitment agencies.

• Support HR/Recruitment Advisors with offer paperwork and new starter communication.
• Schedule induction programmes for new starters and complete referencing/compliance procedures.
• Also help with the companies Graduate recruitment.

This role would ideally suit someone who has a background in Recruitment admin, but we will also be pleased to hear from individuals who have a strong background in general admin and would like the chance to work within a busy and interesting team. What is important is that you are a very good administrator who is super organised, enjoys supporting others in a professional environment. You can communicate with people of all levels and you have excellent IT skills - Word and Excel in particular. Applicants who have worked on a number of databases, and who pick up new systems quickly, are encouraged to apply.

A great opportunity to join a very well respected team. The current post holder will be starting maternity leave at the end of the year so a November or December start date is needed so a short hand over can be given. Parking isn't available but their office can be found in the centre of Bristol close to all major public transport routes.
