What will you be doing?

We [XRUK Recruitment Support] want to build our team of recruiters. A recruiter is linked in a support role from Recruitment Support to any XRUK team who is running a recruitment drive to build their team's capacity. The recruiter identifies what that team needs and then supports them with the recruitment and onboarding of new applicants into the team.

The mandate [purpose and tasks] for the Recruiter & Onboarding Coordinator states that the team needs : 

Team members who are flourishing and productive in all roles, and the team has members to fill its roles and support its workload.

Main tasks :

• Supporting another XRUK team with writing the roles and opportunities they need to recruit
• Responding to, managing and meeting applicants
• Onboarding, inducting and orienting new members into the team.
• Inviting new members to join the team
• Create a training plan based on available templates
• Relevant admin tasks, e.g. updating XR platforms.
• Checking in with team members about their fit with roles, projects and the team generally, and offering feedback.
• Suggesting improvements to who fills roles, to improve the work of the team and its members.

SUPPORT: Training is available for each of your main tasks and you will be able to shadow others doing this role until you feel confident in the role. You will be part of the friendly Recruitment Support team.

We look forward to hearing from you.

What difference will you make?

You will:

• take pressure off those who don't have time or don't have the skills to recruit and as a result, you increase their capacity.
• empower volunteers to discover roles that align with their passions and drive meaningful change

Before you apply

• Please ensure you understand Extinction Rebellion's objectives by :
  • reading our organisation profile on Reach,
  • visiting our website at https://extinctionrebellion.uk/ and
  • reading our Principles and Values and Ways of Working on https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/books/xr-uk-ways-of-working…
• We will first meet you on a Zoom call to describe Extinction Rebellion's objectives and the role in more detail and for you to ask questions.
• We next go through your training plan.
• You join our team to observe each stage of recruitment.
• You attend whatever team meetings you can.
• You work at whatever speed you have time for.
• You choose any part of the recruitment process that interests you, but you do not have to commit to anything.
• You may wish to join a team who don't have the time or the capability to recruit. This may be temporary until you have helped them to complete their recruitment. Ideally you would join a team where you already have some experience in what they do.
• Whatever you do, you will have someone to help and guide you.
• We welcome your feedback.
