Recruitment Co-ordinator

We are currently looking for a Recruitment Coordinator to join our in-house recruitment team. Now, we might be slightly biased, but we think we are a great team to be part of..although that might have something to do with our fondness for tea and biscuits This role could be carried out remotely, but you would need to be able to work from our Bristol office as and when necessary for projects and collaboration with team colleagues.

It's no secret that we're an ambitious firm and our vision and culture truly reflect that. At the heart of this is an outstanding client experience, something that Womble Bond Dickinson prides itself on, and it's something that we've become so well known for. We believe it's what will support the growth of our business, allow us to do rewarding and profitable work and create a sustainable business for our people. But we can't uphold that reputation and grow our business without continuing to recruit some of the very best talent in the legal industry.

And that's where our team comes in. We've had some great successes in the past couple of years; attracting outstanding talent to the business, gaining recognition for our apprenticeship programme and recruiting and developing the future leaders of our business through our graduate scheme. But there's plenty more for us to do if we're going to help our business achieve its vision and we need your help in doing that.

**_ So what will you be doing?_**
- Taking responsibility for the pre-employment checking process which includes referencing, enhanced checks through an external provider, regulatory and legal right to work checks.
- Supporting a team of busy recruiters in co-ordinating interviews and assessments.

There is also potential to be involved with graduate and apprenticeship recruitment, so we are also keen to hear from individuals who are passionate about the Early Talent element of recruitment.

We work with some fantastic people, we enjoy what we do and we have a bit of fun along the way. But importantly, we're made to feel that we're really contributing to the success of this business.

**_What makes it great to work here?_**

We continually work hard to create an open culture that sets us apart from other firms. Our culture gives us much more of a human feel, emphasising that we're more than just suits

As signatories to the Mindful Business Charter, it's important to us that our people are able to maintain healthy and happy lives, both in and out of work. We have a number of resources and initiatives designed to support health and wellbeing and we're very happy to talk flexible working, full-time or part-time working patterns.

Through our ED&I initiatives we create an environment in which difference is valued. We have an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Group, led by our Board Sponsor, which works with our colleague networks (we currently have firm supported networks for race, ethnicity, and cultural heritage, LGBTQ+, disabilities, families, and women's career development and we're in constant dialogue with our people about how we expand our networks to better support everybody). Find out more about ED&I at WBD here. We encourage applicants from all social backgrounds, ethnicities, disabilities, gender identities and sexual orientations.

We are committed to ensuring our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible to all.
