Love recruitment and ready to influence the bigger talent picture for a great organisation?
Ravensdown has created a newly established Talent Partner role, combining hands-on recruitment with the opportunity to shape how the business attracts, develops and supports its people in the future.
And there's plenty of variety! From stores people and plant operators to sales, science and corporate roles, you'll work with people right across a diverse, nationwide business.

You'll also have opportunities to work alongside our HR Business Partners, supporting managers with practical, trusted advice across a wide range of people and employment matters.
You're an experienced recruiter who knows how to deliver, enjoys working with people and isn't afraid to challenge the status quo.

Above all, you're curious, approachable and comfortable taking ownership. You enjoy being part of a team, but don't need someone looking over your shoulder to get things moving.
And a sense of humour certainly wouldn't go astray!

You'll join a collaborative People & Performance team that values initiative, supports professional development and genuinely enjoys working together.
