Some HR Administrator roles involve supporting one company, using one system and following one familiar set of processes. This is not one of those roles.

At HR180, we are more than an outsourced HR provider. We work as a genuine partner to our clients, which means understanding how each business works and adapting our support accordingly.

An offer letter for one client might be sent through Adobe Sign. Another may need to be checked by a manager first. For another client, it could be uploaded and issued through their own HR system.

The task may sound familiar, but the process behind it often will not be.

For the right person, that is exactly what makes this role so rewarding. You will gain broad, practical HR experience, work alongside experienced HR professionals and learn how different organisations manage every stage of the employee journey.

You will provide essential administrative support to our HR Advisors and Partners, helping them deliver a responsive and professional service to our clients.

• Preparing contracts, offer letters and new starter documents
• Managing leavers, probation reviews, references and right to work checks
• Organising hearings, meetings and interviews
• Taking accurate notes and preparing follow up correspondence
• Supporting disciplinary, grievance, maternity, absence and other employee relations processes
• Maintaining accurate records across several client HR systems
• Monitoring tasks, deadlines and outstanding actions
• Assisting with payroll preparation and reporting
• Supporting the onboarding of new clients
• Helping to organise training sessions and materials
• Contributing to projects and process improvements
• Supporting our monthly networking event and wider office activities

You may move between several clients, systems and priorities during the same day, so keeping track of the detail is essential.

The complexity does not come from one individual task. It comes from knowing how that task should be completed for each client.

You will need to learn different systems, templates, approval processes and service expectations. You will also need to understand which actions you can complete independently, when something needs checking and how to prioritise when several clients need support at once.

You will not be expected to know everything on your first day.

We are a team where people do not wait to be told, everyone takes responsibility and everyone has a voice. You will have plenty of support while you learn, but as your confidence grows, we will trust you to think, take ownership and get things moving.

• Like variety and are energised by a busy working day
• Learn new systems and processes confidently
• Can switch between tasks without losing important details
• Enjoy solving problems rather than waiting for every step to be explained
• Take ownership and follow things through properly
• Can prioritise calmly when several things need attention
• Communicate professionally and confidently
• Know when to act independently and when to ask for guidance
• Care about accuracy and confidentiality
• Bring personality, resilience and a good sense of humour. HR180 even lists gallows humour as one of its six things to know about the team!

Previous HR experience would be useful, but it is not essential.

You may also have developed the right skills within recruitment, payroll, legal services, financial services, accountancy, consultancy, client support, executive assistance or another complex administration environment.

Your ability to learn, adapt, organise and take responsibility is more important than having completed every HR task before.

We are a friendly, down to earth and ambitious HR consultancy with a big mission: to be an example of how a workplace can feel and act.

We work as genuine partners to our clients and we have built a culture where people take responsibility, contribute…
