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.
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 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.

• 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.
