We may not be the largest team, but we're a highly supportive, collaborative and fun group who genuinely enjoy what we do. Variety is guaranteed, and we work together to overcome challenges, celebrate successes. Everyone has a voice, fresh ideas are welcomed, and your opinion will genuinely help influence the way we work and grow as a team.

Why Join Us?

This is an exciting opportunity to be at the heart of recruitment for one of Lincolnshire's largest employers, supporting services that make a real difference to local communities.

The role offers the flexibility of hybrid working, with office attendance usually required on average once per week.  Collaboration is a huge part of who we are. Alongside regular team meetings, you'll also take part in wider People Service meetings, many of which are held off-site, giving you the opportunity to build relationships and expand your network across the organisation.

That's why resilience, flexibility and a positive attitude are so important. Equally, being a strong team player is essential, as we rely on one another's support, collaboration and shared expertise to deliver the best outcomes, particularly during busy periods and when priorities shift unexpectedly.

You'll have opportunities to develop your expertise, lead improvement initiatives and broaden your knowledge of recruitment across a large and diverse organisation.

We share knowledge, celebrate achievements, have a laugh along the way and are united by our passion for delivering an outstanding service. You'll be encouraged to contribute ideas, get involved in projects and develop your own skills and career.
