Are you ready to start a rewarding career in recruitment, where you’ll make a real difference to your local community?
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and people-focused Recruitment Facilitator to join our friendly, high-performing team at Nottingham City Council Housing Services. You don’t need previous recruitment experience – just the energy, curiosity, and drive to learn. In return, we’ll support you every step of the way with full training, great colleagues, and meaningful work that helps shape the future of housing services in Nottingham.
About Us
Our Resource and Reward team delivers the full recruitment service for NCC Housing Services, helping managers find and hire great people into a wide range of frontline and office-based roles. We’re proud of our reputation for being professional, approachable, and outcomes-focused. We value fairness, inclusion, and continuous improvement – and we’re excited to welcome someone new to grow with us.
