Job Description

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\xe2\x80\xa6\xe2\x80\xa6..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?

We\'re looking for someone who shares in our passion for outstanding candidate experience and client service delivery. We\'ll be looking to you to keep us all in check and ensure that our candidates and new joiners have a seamless experience. You\'ll be doing this in a number of ways including:

• Co-ordinating the new joiner induction process liaising with candidates and hiring teams.
• Taking responsibility for the pre-employment checking process which includes referencing, enhanced checks through an external provider, regulatory and legal right to work checks.
• Keeping in touch with candidates between offer and joining to ensure they are kept up to date with progress of their pre-employment screening and induction arrangements.
• 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.

But it\'s not all about us, to be honest we\'re more interested in you. We\'re open minded about your background but it\'s likely that you\'ll have gained some administrative experience within a recruitment or HR team, or within a recruitment consultancy. We work in a very busy and fast paced environment so some knowledge of recruitment or HR would be helpful. Beyond that, it\'s essential that you\'re highly organised and efficient, have a passion for delivering exceptional candidate experience and are a strong team player.

Given that much of your role will be spent liaising with candidates and hiring teams, an ability to build relationships and communicate effectively is also essential. We\'re a friendly and supportive team and it\'s really important to us that you share in that.

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 . 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. If you have a disability or long term condition and need us to make any adjustments to give you the best possible recruitment process, please let us know by contacting the recruiter on the right hand side of this page.

We are an in-house recruitment team and will always aim to fill our roles directly in the first instance. If you\'re an agency, please for ways that you can work with us.
