We’re an employee-owned agency oftechnology, design and delivery experts who work primarily with public and third sector organisations to build usable and accessible digital services that fit seamlessly into user’s lives.

We help organisations like the NHS, the Department for Education, and Citizens Advice spend less money on technology, so that they can spend more on helping the most vulnerable. We aim not only to produce better services, but to radically and permanently improve people’s interactions with government to make it a better instrument of good.

One of the things that makes us different is that we are employee-owned, so we are not beholden to external shareholders, and are protected against being taken over by private equity. It also means we can prioritise being an inclusive employer, reducing our impact on the planet, and working in theopen.work . We particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented in tech and/or looking for flexible working arrangements.

We’re looking for a Recruitment Coordinator to help run the day-to-day operations of hiring at dxw.

You’ll coordinate our recruitment activity end to end – from getting job adverts live to onboarding new starters – and make sure candidates have a clear, fair and well-organised experience throughout the process.

You’ll also own our vetting and pre-employment checking processes for both permanent and contract staff. Accuracy, confidentiality and good follow-through are essential.

We’re a small People team, so this role is varied. During quieter hiring periods, you’ll also support with general HR and people administration tasks. There’s plenty of opportunity to learn and gain exposure to different areas of HR over time.

You’ll report into the Senior People Partner and where needed, also receive support and guidance from the rest of the team.
