The successful candidate will help shape, coordinate and contribute to the delivery of the programme of work which will help to achieve the ambition in our People Strategy, including our aim to be best employer for equality, diversity and inclusion in the country.

You will work in an agile way to lend your skills to organisational priorities. Your focus will be on supporting our portfolio of projects which will ensure that the Environment Agency attracts, recruits and retains the people, skills, capability and capacity we need to respond to climate and biodiversity emergencies. You'll help us to achieve the ambition in the Environment Agency’s five-year plan, EA2025, and beyond.

Some of your responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating the administration of the Environment Agency recruitment system (Oleeo) and undertaking other associated administration tasks.
• Assisting with advert upload and promotion.
• Managing and tracking the onboarding of new starters into the business, liaising closely with recruiting managers.
• Organising new starter inductions and ordering equipment such as IT, or personal protective equipment on behalf of business units.
• Building strong relationships with a community of practitioners and working collaboratively together to share and learn with a view to continuously improving.

Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You will be required to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident. This may attract an additional payment and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.

Business Support plays a huge part in enabling us to achieve our goals. Our work covers a range of activities including recruitment, assurance & risk, health, safety & wellbeing, customer enquiries, engagement and communications.

Our vision is for the organisation to thrive and improve , helping create a better place for people, wildlife and the environment.

We are an inclusive, diverse and passionate part of our organisation. Our people are our number one priority.

Whilst relevant work experience would be an advantage, it’s less important to us than your ability to demonstrate the key transferrable skills and the personal qualities that we’re looking for. As with all of our roles, full on-the-job training will be provided.

The ideal candidate will:

• Have a positive, proactive and hard-working attitude.
• Be an organised, flexible person who can deliver quickly in a fast-paced environment.
• Have good written and verbal communication skills and work well in a team as well as be able to collaborate with the wider organisation.
• Be comfortable using different digital tools, such as Microsoft Office 365, Word, Excel and Outlook.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer and ensuring equal opportunities for everyone. We are striving to make our workforce as diverse as the communities we serve, and hope to attract applications from underrepresented groups, including people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, people with a disability, and people with gender diverse identities.
