  • Ability to manage the full recruitment lifecycle independently

  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with ability to influence at senior level

  • Highly organised with the ability to prioritise and juggle multiple tasks

  • Skilled in using CRM/recruitment systems and Microsoft Office

  • Strong problem-solving ability and resilience under pressure

  • A commitment to equality, diversity, and making a difference
