Job Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a team member to join Onboarding to work across Contingent Worker Onboarding and Network Access Administration. Focus will initially be on one of the two subjects and over time both roles will be learnt. This is an excellent role for someone with great experience of working in an operational role and who is an outstanding teammate!
Contingent Worker Onboarding requires the role holder to undertake all operational activities to ensure contractors, consultants, agency staff etc. join the Bank in a timely manner, that necessary documentation is received, and the hiring manager and new joiner receive a positive customer experience. This requires building knowledge of the onboarding journeys for contingent workers that join via procurement channels or the Public Sector Resourcing Framework (PSR).
The Network Access Administrator role holder contributes to the day-to-day operational duties of the team. The work spans management of active directory accounts for new joiners, movers (within the Bank) and leavers (employers who depart the Bank). Team members take the lead on one process at a time and periodically move to another, thus building knowledge across all aspects of the work and resilience in the team.
This can be a fast-paced environment with conflicting priorities at times, both roles will suit someone who can use their initiative, is able to be reactive to the situation at hand and provide excellent service to customers!
