We are excited to offer an opportunity for a graduate to join the Resourcing Solutions Team as a Graduate Resourcing Officer. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills and gain recruitment experience in our award-winning team. The post holder will be responsible for supporting a wide range of resourcing projects, working with candidates, recruiting managers, and external organisations.

Resourcing Solutions deliver multiple different recruitment and employability projects, and this role will include the opportunity to be involved in one or more of the following, which are current priorities for the team:

• International Recruitment: Supporting sponsored care workers who have been displaced from their Care job due to their employer having their sponsorship licence revoked.
• Employability Projects: Supporting people who are currently not working, to identify work experience opportunities that meet their interests and needs.
• Recruitment Systems and Process: Working with colleagues to implement new recruitment technologies to ensure efficient and robust recruitment practices.

All of the above projects will involve partnership working with external organisations in relation to recruitment practice, advising and guiding them, and forming positive working relationships. There will also be a need to undertake recording and reporting of data and statistics, so you'll need to have an ability to work accurately and enjoy working with spreadsheets!

• Innovative
• Challenging
• Persuasive

Graduate Development Programme

This role will form part of the NYC Corporate Graduate Development Programme, which offers you the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills in roles supporting operational delivery of frontline services. This role will be fast-paced and will require individuals who can demonstrate resilience and an ability to adapt to changes in legislation and recruitment practice.

This is a two-year programme and will integrate training within the operational job role. It will include a variety of training and development opportunities, which will be undertaken in more of a group setting with other graduates who join the 2025 cohort. We are committed to helping you secure a position with NYC at the end of the programme and you will be able to apply for internal and external vacancies which arise. The learning and development you gain through the programme will strengthen your ability to secure further employment.

Training and Development

As part of the development programme, you will complete the following in-house training:

• Corporate and Managers Induction
• Aspiring Managers Webinars
• Line Manager Leadership Programme (FLM)
• Access to online learning materials, including Ashridge Management College
• Graduate Network membership, including ‘lunchtime learning’
• Mentor support

We also expect that graduates will learn about the political landscape of the authority, gaining an understanding of how working with elected members helps shape our services and community focus.

In addition to your line manager, we will provide structured mentoring support with a senior manager, in the authority or partner organisation, to all of the participants on the programme. Continuous careers advice and guidance will be built into the programme to support you in identifying areas you would like to develop and how your career aspirations can be achieved within the Council.

Networking Opportunities

As we are recruiting to a number of graduate positions, you will benefit from having the support of our existing cohort of graduate trainees with whom you can network, share experiences, and participate as part of a group in wider corporate training and development. We have found from previous graduate programmes that this can be extremely beneficial and often strong working relations are forged from this.
