Superhero wanted

The last couple of years have seen the rise of a new HR euphemism - the contingent workforce. It's a variant of zero-hours contracts, creating pools of freelances, contract workers and temps, to be called on when the employer a) fancies it b) failed to plan against demand c) seeks to save money on staff jobs.

Now the BBC has a new unit: the Resourcing & Talent Contingent Workforce team, and needs a Resourcing Advisor "who will be responsible for ensuring all engagements are compliant with HMRC Tax regulations and employment law". That's something that's occasionally defeated the BBC in the past.

"Tenacity is a key attribute of the Resourcing Advisor as you will be driven to achieve the right result despite challenging internal / external circumstances. You will also be a natural relationship builder to manage key stakeholders and possess excellent attention to detail and accuracy. You must have proven experience of handling, resolving and escalating enquiries but also show an appreciation of how to work effectively in a team to deliver exceptional results. Your communication skills will be first class, both written and verbal and you will be confident in dealing with the full range of business users, via multiple communication channels."

All that, for an entry level Grade 5 job.
