As an Early Careers Consultant, you'll act as the Recruitment Partner to your business functions who is responsible for managing their vacancies through the end-to end assessment and hiring process. This will include providing ongoing guidance to your business stakeholders, keeping them up to date on the recruitment journey as well as leading and facilitating their half day assessment events face to face in head office or virtually. You'll support the Strategic Resourcing Manager to implement assessment and attraction strategies and have the opportunity to work on high profile projects alongside the hiring processes. This could be supporting with our Early Careers new starter events, hosting webinars with potential candidates on how to apply or partnering with the business on their Summer Internship hiring. You'll work in a collaborative and very supportive team environment where you will be given all the necessary training and upskilling needed to perform and develop successfully in the role. In this high-volume recruitment position you'll need to be comfortable dealing with candidates and hiring managers alike, influencing and challenging where necessary.

We forge our own path at Nationwide.

As a mutual, we're owned by our members - those customers who bank, save or have a mortgage with us. We challenge the financial sector status quo. We don't see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives.

If you're inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, you're one of us.

At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community, we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.

We are purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.

What you'll be doing

In this fast-paced role you'll be supporting the Strategic Resourcing Manager to develop and implement new and robust recruitment process and attraction strategies for the Early Careers programmes. Crucially you'll also continually develop and maintain strong working relationships with key internal stakeholders and candidates to ensure the best possible experiences for both. You'll be acting as the first point of contact for individual Early Careers programmes and will advise the different business areas on best recruitment practice and assessment methods. Attending and facilitating virtual and face to face assessment events will be one of the key parts of your role alongside attending other promotional activities such as recruitment fairs or online candidate or hiring manager guidance sessions. Day to day management of your own performance is crucial such as pipeline management and forward planning, but you'll also be working within a team to holistically manage the Early Careers recruitment strategy.
