About the Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic Apprentice Recruiter to join our team and complete the nationally recognised Recruiter Level 3 Apprenticeship. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain practical experience while developing the skills, knowledge, and behaviours needed to build a successful career in recruitment.
As an Apprentice Recruiter, you will support and manage activities across the end-to-end recruitment process — from planning and sourcing candidates to assessing, shortlisting, and onboarding them into roles. You will also learn how to build strong relationships with candidates, clients, and colleagues, while ensuring compliance, inclusivity, and sustainability are at the centre of everything you do.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the end-to-end recruitment process, including advertising, sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding.
- Build and maintain relationships with candidates, clients, colleagues, and stakeholders.
- Write job adverts, create marketing content, and use social media to attract candidates.
- Help manage aftercare activities such as onboarding and timesheets.
- Support business development by identifying new opportunities in line with organisational needs.
- Research and analyse recruitment markets to understand trends and candidate availability.
- Track, measure, and report on recruitment activity against agreed performance targets.
- Ensure all recruitment activity complies with legislation, ethical standards, and organisational policies.
What You’ll Learn
During the Recruiter Level 3 Apprenticeship, you will develop skills in:
- Managing the full recruitment lifecycle.
- Understanding client and candidate needs.
- Communication, negotiation, and relationship building.
- Using recruitment systems, databases, and digital platforms.
- Writing adverts and creating recruitment marketing campaigns.
