The role is initially expected to last around 12 - 18 months, with a strong possibility of extension

The Role

This role offers a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of the end-to-end recruitment process while also contributing to wider HR initiatives. The role is split 50/50, with a strong focus on attracting, hiring, and onboarding top talent, alongside supporting employee engagement and general HR operations.

You’ll be the go-to person for recruitment — managing vacancies from start to finish, liaising with hiring managers, and ensuring an excellent candidate experience throughout. At the same time, you’ll play a key role in embedding new employees into the business and contributing to a positive, people-focused culture.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the full recruitment cycle — from job scoping and advertising to interviewing and offer management

• Work closely with hiring managers to understand their resourcing needs and build tailored attraction strategies

• Support onboarding processes to ensure new employees have a smooth and engaging introduction to the business

• Coordinate and deliver employee engagement activities in collaboration with the wider HR team

• Provide first-line HR advice and guidance on policies, systems, and procedures

• Assist with maintaining accurate HR records and supporting compliance and reporting requirements

• Contribute to broader HR projects as required, supporting a proactive and responsive HR service

About You

• Proven experience in recruitment or HR, ideally in a fast-paced, manufacturing, or life sciences environment

• A solid understanding of onboarding and employee engagement best practices

• A strong communicator with the ability to build effective working relationships with managers and candidates alike

• Highly organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities

• Previous experience in a generalist HR setting is desirable

• CIPD qualification (or working towards it) would be an advantage

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary + benefits

• The chance to take real ownership of recruitment while developing broader HR experience

• A supportive and forward-thinking working environment within a global organisation

• The opportunity to make a meaningful impact during a key period of growth and change
