Talent Acquisition Specialist

Why this role

If you enjoy bringing talented people into an organisation while ensuring the people processes behind the scenes run smoothly, this could be an excellent opportunity.

This newly created position offers a varied combination of recruitment and generalist HR responsibilities within an established and growing organisation operating in the healthcare sector.

You'll take ownership of the recruitment process, build relationships with hiring managers and candidates, and support the wider employee lifecycle. Working closely with senior stakeholders, you'll also have the opportunity to contribute ideas and help develop effective people processes as the business continues to grow.

About the employer

Our client is an established organisation operating within the private healthcare sector, with a growing presence across multiple locations.

With continued development and ambitious plans for the future, the business is looking to strengthen its internal People function and introduce additional resource to support its workforce and recruitment requirements.

This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation where you can make a meaningful contribution, work closely with key stakeholders and help improve the employee experience.

What you’ll be doing

• Manage recruitment activity across a range of clinical and non-clinical vacancies, working with hiring managers to understand requirements, prepare job descriptions and attract suitable candidates.
• Proactively source candidates, screen applications, conduct initial interviews and manage the recruitment process through to offer and onboarding.
• Develop talent pipelines for regularly recruited positions and maintain relationships with external recruitment providers where required.
• Coordinate employee lifecycle administration, including onboarding, employment contracts, references, right-to-work checks, employee records, contractual changes, probation, absence, annual leave and leavers.
• Provide first-line support for general employee queries, maintain HR documentation and policies, and contribute to employee engagement initiatives, training activities and ongoing process improvements.

What we’re looking for

• Previous experience within HR, People or Talent, ideally combining recruitment responsibilities with generalist HR administration.
• Confidence managing recruitment processes independently, including candidate sourcing, screening and initial interviews.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with candidates, employees, managers and senior stakeholders.
• Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining confidentiality.
• A proactive and commercially aware approach, with the confidence to work independently and identify opportunities to improve existing processes.
• Experience using HR systems, recruitment platforms and Microsoft Office.
• Previous experience within healthcare, a multi-site organisation or a growing business would be advantageous but is not essential.
• CIPD studies or a relevant qualification would be beneficial, although practical experience and the right attitude are equally important.

What’s in it for you

• The opportunity to take ownership of a newly created role and make a real contribution to the development of the People function.
• A varied position combining hands-on recruitment with broader HR and employee lifecycle responsibilities.
• Regular exposure to senior stakeholders and the opportunity to influence and improve people-related processes.
• The chance to develop your skills and take on additional responsibility as the organisation continues to evolve.
