About The Role
Would you like to play a key role in supporting the University to successfully recruit new staff to join its diverse workforce?
If you are a confident and self-motivated individual interested in joining a responsive and effective recruitment team, we would like to hear from you. Previous administration experience is advantageous, but we are primarily seeking motivated individuals eager to learn new skills and systems.
You should demonstrate exceptional written and verbal communication skills, a keen eye for detail, high organization, flexibility, and the ability to work under tight deadlines managing a large workload. Building and maintaining relationships across the University and keeping candidates informed throughout the application process are essential.
The role is varied and fast-paced. You will handle vacancies for contractual or casual staff, place adverts, invite applicants to interviews, support successful candidates through the offer stage, and prepare and issue contracts. Proficiency in IT, including Microsoft Word and Outlook, is required; training on our internal systems, including the online e-Recruit system, will be provided.
Our HR department is committed to high-quality standards. Based at Guildhall Square, Southampton, our modern, open-plan offices are easily accessible by public transport, shops, restaurants, and a University gym.
What We Offer
Although our HR department works across Highfield Campus and One Guildhall Square, your main work location will be One Guildhall Square. Both locations are accessible and have amenities nearby. There is also an opportunity for flexible remote work, with a requirement to be in the office at least once a week.
We offer an occupational pension scheme, 20 days of annual leave plus 8 bank holidays and 6 University closure days, access to on-campus sports, arts, and culture facilities, and various employee-discount schemes, including the cycle to work scheme.
This role supports the University's mission ‘to change the world for the better’. Joining our community provides a valuable opportunity to be part of an environment that values its people and promotes collegiality.
Please note: the expected hours for this full-time role are 9 am - 5 pm.
