Summary

Love recruitment? Thrive in a fast-paced HR environment where no two days are the same?
Join Truro and Penwith College and play a vital role in attracting, appointing and onboarding the people who help transform lives through education.
We’re looking for an experienced HR Associate with a strong recruitment and staffing focus to support our managers during a busy and exciting period for the College.
The Role
This is a hands-on, people-facing role where recruitment is front and centre. You’ll manage the full recruitment lifecycle, ensuring a smooth, compliant and positive experience for candidates and hiring managers alike.
Key responsibilities include:
• Managing end-to-end recruitment, from vacancy approval to onboarding
• Screening applications, coordinating shortlisting and interviews
• Supporting managers to recruit efficiently, effectively and cost-consciously
• Issuing contracts, coordinating inductions and ensuring timely starts
• Maintaining recruitment data, tracking activity and producing reports

• Confident managing multiple vacancies and priorities at pace
• Highly organised, detail-focused and confident using HR systems
