This is an exciting opportunity to join our team in Talent Acquisition and support the delivery of recruitment services across one of the largest Trust of the South of England.
As a Recruitment Administrator, you will play a key role in supporting candidates and hiring managers throughout the recruitment journey. You will undertake a variety of administrative tasks, maintain recruitment systems, and ensure that candidates receive a professional and positive experience from application through to appointment.
This role is ideal for an individual who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, has excellent attention to detail and is committed to delivering high-quality customer service.
The successful Candidate will be responsible for
- Supporting the end-to-end recruitment process from vacancy creation through to appointment.
- Managing candidate communications and responding to recruitment enquiries.
- Coordinating interview arrangements and issuing interview invitations.
- Processing recruitment documentation accurately and within agreed timescales.
- Maintaining recruitment records and systems to ensure data accuracy and compliance.
- Supporting pre-employment checks and onboarding activities.
- Working closely with hiring managers, candidates and colleagues to deliver an efficient recruitment service.
- Monitoring recruitment activity and escalating issues where appropriate.
- Ensuring compliance with NHS Employment Check Standards, Trust policies and relevant legislation.
- Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives within the Talent Acquisition Team.
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated 'Good' by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 30% lower than London and 17 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
