About the Role
Are you highly organised, proactive individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment?
Our Human Resources team is seeking to appoint a skilled, customer-focused administrator to provide day-to-day support across a wide range of Support & Advice/Data team activities.
Responsibilities
The post holder will provide administrative support and advice to staff on a range of human resources processes and enquiries, taking the lead on a cohort of contractual changes (including offers, extensions, change in hours or salary, acting ups, secondments), ensuring that these are processed promptly and accurately. They will also provide support to the wider HR department, in the creation and maintenance of accurate staff records as well as supporting the onboarding of new members of staff and online HR services to users across the university.

This post will be primarily based at the Eden Campus at Guardbridge, a state-of-the-art working environment for professional services units.
