You'll be responsible for developing and implementing an iterative recruitment strategy to source, hire and onboard the most capable and diverse DDaT professionals in the market.

You will also ensure the department meets Civil Service recruitment principles of fair and open competition and that we recruit on merit.

You'll get to progress in a fast paced, supportive team and you will quickly become an expert in all things digital, data and technology at DIT, whilst developing your skills in wider HR through input and exposure to other parts of the organisation.

You will be empowered to make decisions and, if things go wrong, you will demonstrate the resilience to fix them quickly taking on board lessons learned.

You'll work with them to scope, manage and deliver recruitment and HR project work.

This role is available in two UK locations, including central London, and Darlington's new economic hub. This role can only be worked from within the UK and not overseas.

Most DIT employees will be working a hybrid pattern, spending 2-3 days a week (pro rata) in the office on average.

Changes to these working arrangements are available in certain circumstances but must be agreed with the vacancy manager and in line with the requirements of the role.

Travel to your primary office location will not be paid for by DIT, but costs for travel to an office which is not your main location will be covered.
