6 months ago


Tonbridge, United Kingdom Southeastern Railway Full time

Job Introduction
**What is the job about?**

This is an excellent opportunity to join the recruitment and assessment team on a Fixed Term Contract (18 months) and to play a pivotal role in the recruitment and selection of staff across the business, but with a focus on the Passenger Services division. This will include the recruitment for Conductors, On Board Managers and Station Staff.

**Where will I work?**

This is a hybrid role where you will have the flexibility to work remotely. However, there will be a requirement to attend the Tonbridge based office a minimum of 2-3 days a week to conduct assessments with the potential of travelling the network to assist with interview panels. You will also be attending career fairs throughout Kent.

Main Responsibilities

- Recruiting and selecting the best people who reflect our values and will continue to make Southeastern a successful business as well taking responsibility for allocated internal and external recruitment campaigns.

- Participating and attending recruitment activities i.e. job fairs, recruitment days and seminars as appropriate.
- Complying with HR policies and procedures relating to recruitment & selection, including Equality Act, Data Protection Act and Company Data Protection Policy.
- Issuing contracts of employment, coordinating the arrangements for new entrant inductions and ensuring that all new entrant paperwork is completed and correct with particular attention to “right to work in the UK” status.
- Working with recruiting managers, developing, reviewing and enhancing the structured interviewing templates to ensure they always identify the appropriate competencies and attract the best people for the job.

**Is it for me?**

Are you organised and a confident individual who is able to work under your own initiative and to tight deadlines? Do you have the confidence to present to large groups of people and are you able to influence colleagues of all levels, including that of senior management.

Then this could be the job for you

Of course, experience within recruitment would be beneficial, but this is not essential.

**Do I need railway experience?**

NO Experience within recruitment would be beneficial, but we are looking for passionate, motivated, organised individuals that can showcase their ability to work to tight deadlines and are able to talk to and influence people at all levels.

**Skills, experience and Knowledge**:

- Must be on or be willing to become a member of the Register of the British Psychological Society’s Qualifications in Test Use (RQTU).
- Must have experience within recruitment, ideally as a Recruitment Officer, Recruitment Consultant or Talent Acquisition Partner.
- Must be able to critically evaluate behaviours and interpersonal skills.
- Must be able to demonstrate best practice and legislation relating to Recruitment & Assessment techniques.

- Must have a high standard of communication, both written and verbal, with the ability to communicate with all levels of staff, including managers, to explain complex information.
- Must have excellent level of IT proficiency, particularly Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
- Must have the ability to interpret complex information and make decisions using sound judgment, seeking advice as required.
- Must have experience of working to tight deadlines and the ability to work well under pressure with little supervision, prioritising appropriately and pro-actively.
