* Co-ordinate, arrange and allocate recruitment appointments such as interviews and pre-employment check appointments.
* Respond to candidate queries via telephone, email, and face to face, providing advice and guidance to ensure a quality candidate experience.
* Assess candidates against set criteria at relevant recruitment stages and proceed and reject them accordingly.
* Access and maintain recruitment records in relation to selection processes in line with procedures.
* Contribute to the ongoing improvement of processes, procedures, and work instructions in line with organisational priorities, best practice, and legislation.

You will need:
* Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills.
* A good level of literacy and numeracy.
* CIPD is desired but is not essential for the role.
