People join Howden for many different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. It’s what sets us apart, and the reason our employees have been turning down headhunters for years.

Leveraging tools such as Textio and Odro to create compelling job descriptions, which are inclusive and bias-free.

Supporting with hiring manager queries including access to and use of Workday Recruiting.

You will also have an opportunity to get involved in ad-hoc projects collaborating with the wider business and HR function.

Highly organised self-starter with a can-do attitude.

You are a team player, who is motivated by achieving shared goals.

You are a quick learner who thrives in fast-paced environments and is able to adapt to changing needs and circumstances.

A proven communicator who is comfortable managing relationships with multiple stakeholders.

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define. At Howden, we value diversity – there is no one Howden type. Instead, we’re looking for individuals who share the same values as us:

Our successes have all come from someone brave enough to try something new

We support each other in the small everyday moments and the bigger challenges

We are determined to make a positive difference at work and beyond
