Recruitment Officer
Band 4
West London NHS Trust provides a full range of mental health, community and physical healthcare services for children, adults and older people living in the London boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham and Hounslow.
We also provide some specialist services that are commissioned regionally, such as our medium secure services; and nationally, such as the Cassel Hospital for people with complex and severe personality disorder and our high secure services at Broadmoor Hospital.
Job overview
We are excited to have an opportunity for a new Recruitment Officer to join the team on a permanent basis.
The vacancy has arisen due to an expansion in the services we cover and we need someone who can hit the ground running as part of our high performance team.
Closing date: 15th June - however this may close earlier if sufficient applications are received.
Main duties of the job
As a Recruitment Officer, you will play a key role in providing an effective, reliable and responsive recruitment advisory and administration service, which will include managing recruitment activities and providing advice and guidance to applicants and recruiting managers.
This role offers a great opportunity for a self-motivated individual who is looking for variety, responsibility, people contact and a degree of autonomy.
If you thrive on being busy and meeting challenges and can juggle several tasks at once this is the job for you.
In return we are committed to providing on-going support, training and development and the opportunity to learn from experienced HR practitioners.
