You'll also provide administrative support for our HR function, helping to ensure employee records, recruitment administration, onboarding, and compliance processes are maintained to a high standard. During busy recruitment periods and when members of the Recruitment Team are on annual leave, you'll also provide additional support to ensure the recruitment process continues to run smoothly.
