Are you a people-focused recruiter with a knack for finding exceptional talent? We're looking for a Recruitment Officer to join our dynamic team at First Bus London — helping us attract, select, and retain the best people across our business.

About the Role
As our Recruitment Officer, you'll manage the full recruitment lifecycle for a range of non-driver roles — from engineering and administration to customer service, supervisory, and operational positions. You'll act as a trusted partner to hiring managers, providing expert advice, building strong relationships, and ensuring a seamless, positive candidate experience from start to finish.

You'll also represent First Bus London at recruitment events, promote our employer brand, and play a key role in shaping how we grow our teams across multiple sites.

What You'll Be Doing

• Manage end-to-end recruitment for all non-driver vacancies.
• Partner with hiring managers to forecast needs and design recruitment strategies.
• Source talent using job boards, social media, referrals, and networking.
• Conduct screenings and interviews, ensuring professionalism and efficiency.
• Coordinate interviews, assessments, and offers.
• Maintain accurate records and compliance with Right to Work and GDPR.
• Track recruitment performance and support continuous improvement.
• Travel between sites to support local hiring and events.

What We're Looking For

• 2–4 years' experience in recruitment (in-house and agency mix preferred).
• Proven ability to manage multiple roles and meet deadlines.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Organised, adaptable, and proactive — with great attention to detail.
• Experience with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
• CIPD Level 3 (or working towards) and educated to A-Level or equivalent.
• A genuine passion for people, service, and continuous improvement.
