Looking for your next move in Talent Acquisition?

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Adviser to join the Electoral Commission’s People and Culture team.

We’re recruiting across the UK. If you’re based within one of our office locations in London, Cardiff, Edinburgh or Belfast, you’ll work on a hybrid basis and attend the office for 40% of your working time, normally two days per week. If you’re based away from our office locations, the role can be worked remotely.

You’ll join a small TA team that is already experienced in working effectively across different UK locations.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of end-to-end recruitment while developing your experience across the wider Talent Acquisition agenda.

You’ll work closely with hiring managers across the Commission, managing recruitment campaigns from initial briefing through to appointment and onboarding. You’ll also have the opportunity to get involved in:

• proactive sourcing, market mapping and talent pipelines
• employer branding and attraction
• recruitment data and insight
• candidate experience and process improvement
• early careers and wider Talent Acquisition projects

We’re looking for someone with strong recruitment experience who can manage multiple campaigns, build effective relationships with hiring managers and provide a high-quality service to candidates.

Why join us?

The Electoral Commission is the independent body that oversees elections and regulates political finance in the UK. Joining our TA team means helping us find the people and skills we need to deliver work that matters to voters and the UK’s democratic system.

You’ll also receive a strong benefits package including the Civil Service pension, 28 days’ annual leave rising to 30, flexible working and ongoing learning and development opportunities.
