About the role
It’s supporting the people who drive the Household forward.
As you would expect from an accredited Investor in People, our HR team provide professional, best-in-class and forward-thinking support to this unique and diverse organisation. By joining us, you’ll make a brilliant start to your HR career.
Working as part of our People Services Team, with a focus on recruitment, you'll play a vital role in supporting all recruitment activities for an amazing variety of teams across the organisation, making this a great opportunity for someone with superb administration skills and an interest in Recruitment and HR administration.
Here’s what you can expect to do in the role:
- Manage a diverse range of recruitment campaigns, supporting managers from implementing sourcing and selection strategies to arranging interviews and preparing contracts.
- Act as the first point of contact for all applicant and candidate queries, promoting and delivering an excellent recruitment experience at all times.
- Coordinate the onboarding process for new starters, ensuring a positive candidate experience along the way and a smooth induction into the organisation.
- Undertake research into the recruitment market to understand and tailor advice on recruitment strategies, and when appropriate, work with external recruitment partners.
- Work with the wider People Services team to provide lifecycle support and guidance to employees and managers.
The learning curve will be steep, but you’ll be supported every step of the way. And although your starting point will be to provide seamless transactional support, as you gain experience and develop your skills, you'll be trusted to take on much more. As you support others, you'll have exceptional opportunities to grow your own career.
About you
- Some previous administrative experience is needed, and you'll be keen to develop your Recruitment and HR skills and take the next step in your HR career.

A natural communicator, you're at your best working in a team and you’ll be confident working with a range of people at different levels.

Organised with an ability to work at pace, you'll juggle a varied workload, effectively balancing priorities and deadlines whilst understanding the importance of delivering service excellence.
*
Pro-active and with lots of initiative, you’ll be able to identify opportunities to add value and make improvements.
- Digitally fluent and with exceptional attention to detail, you'll be able to maintain systems, use MS Office with ease and communicate through online technologies.

Articulate written and analytical skills are important, and you'll be comfortable drafting everything from employment documents to advertising copy.
The role is based at Buckingham Palace but with flexibility for some remote working.
