Job summary

**Part time role - Fixed term or secondment cover for 6 months**

The Trust's Resourcing Team is searching for a Project Officer who will help plan interviews, run recruitment events and support candidates through the recruitment process.

Whilst experience in recruitment is beneficial, it is not essential. We are looking for someone who can work independently to make arrangements for interviews and events including booking rooms, arranging for colleagues to take part, preparing paperwork and liaising with candidates.

The ideal candidate will be able to plan ahead, make arrangements and provide reassurance to candidates.

This 6-month fixed-term role will help the recruitment team to expand and develop. It will suit someone who can manage multiple work streams and work independently. Occasional work off site and out of hours to meet new arrivals may be required.

If you are considering a secondment, please ensure you have your manager's permission before you apply.

Main duties of the job

Working in recruitment is really rewarding as you have a significant impact on the experience of new colleagues joining HDFT.

For colleagues re-locating to Harrogate, we not only complete the standard pre-employment checks but also provide information on everything from schools to sightseeing so that newly arrived colleagues feel welcomed and supported.

We are always working to improve the ways we attract new colleagues to HDFT so this role will also deliver project work in areas where the Trust is experiencing significant workforce challenges identified through the workforce plan and maximising the candidates the Trust attracts applicants from.
