Job Description

We have ambitious targets of 20% growth per year and our Early Careers team plays a pivotal role in helping Newton to achieve its ambitious growth plans. As an Early Careers Attraction Co-ordinator, you will work closely with the Early Careers Team to support with a range of activities.

Key responsibilities will include:

Candidate Attraction & Engagement

• Assist in the creation and execution of recruitment campaigns across multiple channels (university fairs, job boards, website, social media channels).
• Maintain strong campus relationships by attending university events, careers fairs and other recruitment-related activities.
• Ensure candidates are engaged throughout the process, supporting our in-depth “keep warm” activities in a timely manner.
• Build and nurture relationships with students in our talent pools.
• Work closely with the brand and marketing team as well as our marketing agency to ensure seamless execution of our attraction strategy.
• Manage and liaise with multiple external suppliers for event logistics, branded merchandise creation and transportation.

Events

• Attend events across the UK when required; these could be careers fairs, skills sessions, alumni events, mock assessment centres, student society events etc.
• Oversee event administration, including booking, shipping logistics, business representation and clothing.
• Manage student sign up lists and any pre-screening requirements to specific events.

General

• Responsible for training up temporary support staff that might join during the peak university recruiting season.
• Help gather data and prepare reports when needed to help analyse campaign performance
• Assist with ad-hoc projects and tasks assigned by the team to help continuously improve the team’s capability and performance
• May be required to provide ad‑hoc support across the wider Early Careers team, including involvement in elements of the selection and assessment process where needed

Requirements

Experience in related roles, such as administration or customer service, is recognised but not required. Our recruitment campaign is delivered with a hybrid approach so experience and proficiency using Microsoft products – Excel and Teams in particular - would be beneficial as well as the ability to grasp new systems quickly.

During your application process, we’ll be looking for these characteristics in you:

• A high calibre individual, with excellent interpersonal skills, both over the phone and in person.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• A positive attitude, and the desire and drive to make things better
• The ability to work effectively as part of a team, with a collaborative approach
• Flexible and adaptable
• Good attention to detail
• Methodical coordination skills and logical thinking
• Exceptional organisational skills: ability to multi-task and organise others

If you are travelling for work, Newton will reimburse your travel expenses in full, in line with our expenses policy. When appropriate, and with approval from your line manager, Newton will cover the cost of accommodation the night before the interviews. We can expense travel via public transport, or as mileage. You do not need a driving license for this role.

Benefits

Newton maximises the potential of our people, whether in client-based consulting roles, or in head office functions. The prospects for career and personal development in this role are no exception. Our business continues to grow, through our historically effective organic recruitment model and in addition our recent acquisitions and commitment to international expansion. This business growth, alongside our continual striving to add more value from every function of the business creates significant opportunities for those with the right capabilities and attitudes.

Supporting you starts from day one. New joiners often highlight the Newton energy and support they first encounter in the recruitment process and that continues through into their time at Newton. Once in role, you’ll get support from several sources – from stretching projects, on-the-job feedback and developmental guidance from senior leaders. You’ll have a dedicated and consistent Development Manager to support your career progression. You’ll receive regular appraisals and annual pay reviews.

We offer a highly competitive salary and our generous benefits package includes Life Assurance, Income Protection, pension contributions and 25 days holiday (not including bank holidays). We also operate a profit share scheme so that our people share in the success of the business. The profit share bonus is based on company performance and typically paid out in March and September.

Joining us also brings many social benefits. We have a full social calendar with Spring activity days, Christmas events, a 2-day Summer event and 4 Newton-sponsored weekends a year.
