What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on recruitment, onboarding, or learner engagement with strong processes, collaborative culture, and opportunities to apply compliance and operational expertise.

I am an experienced recruitment professional and learner engagement advisor with a proven track record in 360 recruitment, branch management, and founding a recruitment agency. I excel in building trusting relationships, conducting compliance and right-to-work checks, and managing high-volume candidate engagement and onboarding remotely.

I bring strong attention to detail, excellent communication and time-management skills, and extensive experience in payroll, invoicing, client liaison, rota and shift management, and administrative compliance. I am reliable, task-oriented, and motivated to contribute to a team-focused environment where process accuracy and candidate experience matter.
