An opportunity to make a difference
At Border to Coast our purpose is to make a difference and we’re looking for a keen HR & Recruitment Coordinator to join our award-winning organisation.
As a customer-owned and customer-focused organisation, integrity is one of our values, as is our collaborative and sustainable approach. Our focus is to secure the pensions of over a million people who have provided valuable service to their communities and society. We’re the largest UK asset manager outside London or Edinburgh, and we provide innovative investments that deliver sustainable returns over the long term.
With our 2030 Strategy now in place and new Government standards for pooling on the horizon, we are poised to grow to £110bn of assets under management and evolve into an enhanced regulatory firm.

* Contributing to employer branding and candidate experience initiatives.
* Producing HR reports and supporting wider HR processes and projects.
* Collaborating with internal teams such as Finance, Payroll and Compliance to support HR practices.
* Identifying and escalating risks in recruitment and onboarding processes.
