Recruitment & HR Coordinator | Up to £35,000 | Bedford \n \n Enjoy recruitment, but not convinced you want to be a recruiter forever? \n \n This might be worth a look. \n \n I'm working with a fascinating engineering business in Bedford that's looking for someone to come in and take ownership of its recruitment. \n \n And when I say ownership, I don't mean spending your days booking interviews and updating spreadsheets. \n \n They want you to help build their internal recruitment function. \n \n You'll manage vacancies from start to finish, work directly with hiring managers, source candidates, improve how they recruit and start building proper talent pipelines across some genuinely interesting areas of engineering and professional services. \n \n The first 18 months will be heavily recruitment focused. \n \n But here's where it gets interesting. \n \n They don't want you to stay in recruitment forever either. \n \n You'll work closely with an experienced HR Business Partner and gradually start getting exposure to: \n \n • Employee Relations \n • Disciplinaries and grievances \n • Performance and absence management \n • Employee engagement \n • Change projects \n • HR policy \n • Wider people initiatives \n \n And they'll fully fund your CIPD qualification while you do it. \n \n The intention is to give someone a genuine pathway from Recruitment → HR → potentially HR Advisor/Business Partner territory as their career develops. \n \n So who am I looking for? \n \n You could be an agency recruiter who's had enough of chasing monthly targets but still loves the actual recruitment bit. \n \n You might already work internally as a Recruitment/TA Coordinator and want more ownership. \n \n Or perhaps you're in an HR role that's heavily recruitment focused and you're struggling to get the broader exposure you need to progress. \n \n You don't need to know anything about aerodynamics. \n \n You do need to be curious enough to want to learn. \n \n You'll be recruiting people into a highly specialised engineering environment working across aerospace, defence and R&D, so there are considerably worse industries to spend your day talking about. \n \n What matters is that you can engage candidates, manage hiring managers, keep multiple processes moving and have enough initiative to look at something that isn't working and improve it. \n \n The important bits: \n \n 💰 Up to £35,000 \n 📍 Bedford \n 📚 CIPD fully funded \n 📈 Clear progression into broader HR \n 🏖️ 26 days' holiday + bank holidays \n 💷 Pension matched up to 7% \n 🏥 Private medical insurance \n 📊 Share incentive plan \n \n If you're currently working in recruitment and have been wondering "what comes after this?", this could be a very good answer. \n \n Drop me a message or apply below.

HR Business Partner | £50,000 | Bedford | 12-month FTC \n \n There are HRBP jobs where the business is ticking along nicely and your job is largely to keep it that way. \n \n This isn't one of them. \n \n I'm recruiting for an engineering business in Bedford that's going through significant change. \n And they need an HRBP who actually likes that sort of thing. \n \n Someone who can walk into a business, work out what's really going on, build credibility with senior leaders and then help them make sensible decisions about their people. \n \n There's plenty to get stuck into. \n \n Organisational change. \n Workforce planning. \n Culture. \n Talent. \n Structural reviews. \n Employee engagement. \n \n HR projects that need someone to actually own them and get them finished. \n \n You'll be partnering senior stakeholders, so you'll need to be comfortable challenging people when necessary rather than simply agreeing with whoever has the biggest job title. \n \n You'll also need to understand that good HR in an engineering business isn't about arriving with a 47-slide presentation explaining a new framework. \n \n It's about understanding the commercial reality, getting people on board and making change work in practice. \n \n They're ideally looking for an established HRBP who's been through meaningful organisational or cultural change before. \n \n Engineering, manufacturing, defence, aerospace or another operational environment would be useful, but I'm much more interested in what you've actually done than whether your current employer happens to make the right thing. \n \n The business itself is fascinating. \n \n It's a specialist British engineering and R&D organisation working on genuinely complex projects, and it's currently going through a significant period of investment and transformation. \n \n So there should be plenty to talk about at interview. \n \n The important bits: \n \n £50,000 \n Bedford \n 12-month FTC \n 38-hour week with flexible start/finish times \n 26 days' holiday + bank holidays \n Pension matched up to 7% \n Private medical insurance \n Life assurance \n Share incentive plan \n \n Because of the nature of the work, you'll also need five years' continuous UK residency to satisfy the security clearance requirements. \n \n If your idea of HR Business Partnering is being close to the business, challenging constructively and actually delivering things rather than just talking about them, I'd like to hear from you.

HR Business Partner | £50,000 | Bedford | 12-month FTC There are HRBP jobs where the business is ticking along nicely and your job is largely to keep it that way. This isn't one of them. I'm recruiting for an engineering business in Bedford that's going through significant change. And they need an HRBP who actually likes that sort of thing. Someone who can walk into a business, work out what's really going on, build credibility with senior leaders and then help them make sensible decisions about their people. There's plenty to get stuck into. Organisational change. Workforce planning. Culture. Talent. Structural reviews. Employee engagement. HR projects that need someone to actually own them and get them finished. You'll be partnering senior stakeholders, so you'll need to be comfortable challenging people when necessary rather than simply agreeing with whoever has the biggest job title. You'll also need to understand that good HR in an engineering business isn't about arriving with a 47-slide presentation explaining a new framework. It's about understanding the commercial reality, getting people on board and making change work in practice. They're ideally looking for an established HRBP who's been through meaningful organisational or cultural change before. Engineering, manufacturing, defence, aerospace or another operational environment would be useful, but I'm much more interested in what you've actually done than whether your current employer happens to make the right thing. The business itself is fascinating. It's a specialist British engineering and R&D organisation working on genuinely complex projects, and it's currently going through a significant period of investment and transformation. So there should be plenty to talk about at interview. The important bits: £50,000 Bedford 12-month FTC 38-hour week with flexible start/finish times 26 days' holiday + bank holidays Pension matched up to 7% Private medical insurance Life assurance Share incentive plan Because of the nature of the work, you'll also need five years' continuous UK residency to satisfy the security clearance requirements. If your idea of HR Business Partnering is being close to the business, challenging constructively and actually delivering things rather than just talking about them, I'd like to hear from you

Recruitment & HR Coordinator | Up to £35,000 | Bedford Enjoy recruitment, but not convinced you want to be a recruiter forever? This might be worth a look. I'm working with a fascinating engineering business in Bedford that's looking for someone to come in and take ownership of its recruitment. And when I say ownership, I don't mean spending your days booking interviews and updating spreadsheets. They want you to help build their internal recruitment function. You'll manage vacancies from start to finish, work directly with hiring managers, source candidates, improve how they recruit and start building proper talent pipelines across some genuinely interesting areas of engineering and professional services. The first 18 months will be heavily recruitment focused. But here's where it gets interesting. They don't want you to stay in recruitment forever either. You'll work closely with an experienced HR Business Partner and gradually start getting exposure to: • Employee Relations, • Disciplinaries and grievances, • Performance and absence management, • Employee engagement, • Change projects, • HR policy, • Wider people initiatives And they'll fully fund your CIPD qualification while you do it. The intention is to give someone a genuine pathway from Recruitment ? HR ? potentially HR Advisor/Business Partner territory as their career develops. So who am I looking for? You could be an agency recruiter who's had enough of chasing monthly targets but still loves the actual recruitment bit. You might already work internally as a Recruitment/TA Coordinator and want more ownership. Or perhaps you're in an HR role that's heavily recruitment focused and you're struggling to get the broader exposure you need to progress. You don't need to know anything about aerodynamics. You do need to be curious enough to want to learn. You'll be recruiting people into a highly specialised engineering environment working across aerospace, defence and R&D, so there are considerably worse industries to spend your day talking about. What matters is that you can engage candidates, manage hiring managers, keep multiple processes moving and have enough initiative to look at something that isn't working and improve it. The important bits: ? Up to £35,000 ? Bedford ? CIPD fully funded ? Clear progression into broader HR ?? 26 days' holiday + bank holidays ? Pension matched up to 7% ? Private medical insurance ? Share incentive plan You'll need to be able to satisfy security clearance requirements, including five years' continuous UK residency. If you're currently working in recruitment and have been wondering "what comes after this?", this could be a very good answer. Drop me a message or apply below
