Job Description

Description


Main Purpose:


We are looking for a highly organised administrator who can confidently manage a high volume of work, ask questions when needed, and proactively chase information. The role involves handling sensitive information with discretion, supporting a range of operational and people-focused tasks, and ensuring processes run smoothly. Strong administrative skills, attention to detail, and the ability to bring structure and control to a busy environment are essential. In return, the role offers a varied workload and the opportunity to play a central part in a growing business.


With recent team promotions, this role is a great opportunity for someone seeking a stable, long-term position where they can develop expertise and make a real impact in the administrative function within our busy HR team. We are looking for someone who is motivated to focus on the administrative aspects of the role for the foreseeable future, so this position is best suited to candidates seeking stability in the team rather than those primarily aiming to move into broader HR responsibilities.
