You will be an excellent administrator with a methodical approach and exceptional attention to detail.

You should be comfortable managing competing priorities and working with confidential information.

• Experience in compliance, HR administration or recruitment administration
• Strong organisational and prioritisation skills
• A high level of accuracy and attention to detail
• Experience using HR, recruitment or compliance systems
• An understanding of safer recruitment and employment compliance requirements
• Confidence working with confidential employee data
• A proactive, reliable and solutions-focused approach
• Strong communication and customer service skills
• A relevant administration or HR qualification would be advantageous but is not essential.

Some operational travel may be required, so flexibility to support the wider needs of the business is important.
