Job Advert
The Council recruits around 250 new members of staff each year to a range of roles to ensure it is able to deliver vital services to residents of the borough. From social care to town planning, refuse collection to engineering, we advertise a huge range of roles, and we now need someone to join the team.
We use an online recruitment module for all our recruitment activity, so the role will involve the checking and advertising of roles within the module, advising managers on how best to advertise their role and assisting with any technical queries they may have. You’ll also place adverts on external websites and jobs boards, arrange interviews, obtain references and other clearance documentation, advise hiring managers on recruitment issues, maintain records, issue offer letters and contracts of employment, and all other tasks associated with the recruitment process.
You’ll ensure the best possible service for hiring managers and applicants, ensuring they are kept informed throughout the recruitment cycle.
Candidates must have great interpersonal and communication skills. Attention to detail is extremely important to ensure all roles are advertised accurately and records are maintained.
Ideally, you will have experience of working in a similar recruitment role, and bring innovative ways of promoting our vacancies to attract top candidates, particularly through the use of social media platforms.
Above all, you’ll be a team player, well organised, able to show initiative, work under pressure and have a proactive approach to tasks.
