Talent Acquisition Specialist
Closes 25 Apr 2026
Fixed Term
We are seeking to appoint 2 Talent Acquisition Specialists, upto 12 months and upto 2 yrs. The role is operational and hands-on, with accountability for independently managing recruitment campaigns from briefing to onboarding and genuinely influence how we attract and hire talent. The role ensures recruitment practices align with government policies, workforce planning priorities and best-practice talent acquisition principles. Day to day, you will work side by side with hiring managers - not just taking briefs, but challenging thinking, spotting opportunities, and proactively finding great people (not just the ones applying). You will be trusted to deliver a great experience on both sides - giving honest, practical advice to stakeholders and ensuring candidates feel informed, supported, and valued throughout the process. You are comfortable figuring things out as you go and aren’t afraid to try a different approach when it gets better results. Role is fulltime in the office and requires work across all Powerhouse sites
