Are you an organised and proactive administrator with an interest in recruitment?
We are looking for a Recruitment Assistant to join our established team in Trowbridge, providing a complete end to end support across a varied and busy recruitment function.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a dynamic environment and takes pride in keeping processes running smoothly. You will play a key role in coordinating recruitment activity, supporting hiring managers, and ensuring candidates have a positive experience.
The role involves managing multiple tasks and priorities, so strong organisation and communication skills are essential. You will be part of a supportive team who work closely together, share knowledge, and help each other manage workloads effectively.
We are looking for someone who is proactive, adaptable, and confident working in a fast-paced environment, with the ability to stay organised when things get busy. In return, we offer a collaborative team culture, clear processes, and the opportunity to develop your skills in recruitment.
We are also very keen to appoint someone who is happy to support our social media presence, including contributing to TikTok and Reels content.
Key skills and attributes for this role include:
A confident and articulate communicator.
Exceptionally well organised, with a strong eye for detail.
Comfortable using initiative and working independently.
Adaptable and collaborative, with a positive can do attitude.
Committed to personal development, actively seeking opportunities to learn and grow in the role.
Able to manage competing priorities without becoming overwhelmed.
Recruitment experience not essential but certainly considered an advantage.
If you like variety, care about delivering high quality work, and enjoy working as part of a supportive team, we would love to hear from you.

Statement of commitment to equality and inclusion
Wiltshire Council does not accept unsolicited CVs or candidate details from recruitment agencies that are not appointed under a current, valid contract or approved supplier arrangement (including through our neutral vendor, Comensura).
Submission of unsolicited CVs or candidate details to the Council, whether directly or to individual employees, will not be considered as an introduction and will not create any obligation on the Council to pay any fees. If a candidate whose details have been submitted speculatively is subsequently appointed through a compliant route, no agency fee will be payable in respect of the unsolicited submission.
Agencies wishing to work with the Council must do so only via our approved procurement processes and neutral vendor arrangements.
