You will review current performance and ways of working, strengthen standards and accountability and ensure the service is prepared for changes in employment legislation affecting recruitment. You will work closely with directors, senior managers and HR colleagues to resolve immediate delivery issues while helping to shape the authority’s longer-term approach to talent and resourcing. You will also lead and support four direct reports, building confidence within the team and ensuring the service works effectively with the wider HR function. We are looking for someone who has: Operated at senior Head of Resourcing, Head of Talent Acquisition or Assistant Director level within a large and complex organisation. Led both the strategic and operational delivery of an in-house recruitment or resourcing service. Significant experience of local government or a closely comparable public-sector environment.

Demonstrable experience of improving recruitment performance, turnaround times, processes and management information. The ability to lead an established team while working collaboratively as part of a wider HR leadership function. The confidence to provide credible advice and challenge to directors and senior leaders. Strong working knowledge of both TalentLink and iTrent. Experience of these systems is essential. This role will suit an accomplished senior resourcing leader who is comfortable moving between strategic leadership and immediate operational delivery. You must be able to establish credibility quickly, work collaboratively with the existing team and take ownership from the outset. The assignment is initially for three months, with the likelihood of extension, and sits inside IR35. The expected rate is around £600 per day, with some flexibility for an exceptional candidate.
