We are looking for an organised, motivated and customer-focused individual to join our HR Team as a Clerical Assistant.

This is a varied and rewarding role where you will provide high-quality administrative support across a range of HR activities. You will play a key part in supporting the recruitment processes, ensuring a professional and efficient service is delivered at all times.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Creating and publishing recruitment advertisements.
• Coordinating interviews and liaising with hiring managers and candidates.
• Conducting pre-employment and PVG checks.
• Preparing and issuing contracts of employment and associated documentation.
• Processing payroll-related paperwork accurately and within agreed deadlines.
• Maintaining HR records and systems, ensuring confidentiality and accuracy.

Working in a fast-paced environment, you will be expected to manage competing priorities and work to tight timescales. A high level of accuracy and attention to detail is therefore essential.

You will also be responsible for responding to enquiries from both internal and external customers, providing information and basic guidance on SLLC policies and procedures. Excellent communication skills, a positive approach to customer service and the ability to build effective working relationships are key requirements of the role.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your HR administration experience within a busy and supportive team.

Preferred candidates identified after the selection event process will be required to assist the recruitment team, if need be, to ensure timely completion of recruitment checks. If recruitment checks are not completed within a reasonable timescale, you may automatically be withdrawn from this position.

Any candidate canvassing elected members or employees, either directly or indirectly, in relation to recruitment, will immediately be disqualified.
