In this work, you will play a key role in to updating the recruitment practices of one of the largest employers in the city, creating opportunities for a wider group of people to work with us.

You will be encouraged to keep up with best practice and to develop your skills through access to a wide range of internal and external training as well as collaboration with internal and external partners.


You will be working with a dedicated recruitment team as well as colleagues across Human Resources and Organisational Development and our Equalities Team and will be able to join one of our four employee networks.

We work flexibly in a hybrid way with people working a mix of days at home and in the office.
