Office Manager & AI Champion
Location: Office-Based (Occasional Travel to Other Sites)
Salary: 35K - 45K
Contract Type: Full-time, Permanent
About the Role:
We’re recruiting for an Office Manager & AI Champion to join a growing organisation in a unique role combining HR and Health & Safety administration, general business support, AI, coding and process automation.
This is first and foremost a hands-on administrative and process-focused role, rather than a specialist HR, Health & Safety or IT position. You’ll take ownership of the day-to-day administration that keeps key business functions running smoothly, while using AI and digital tools to make those processes faster, smarter and more consistent.
A major part of the role will be acting as the organisation’s internal AI and digital efficiency champion. You’ll identify repetitive or manual administrative processes across HR, H&S, Fleet, Accounts and Payroll and develop practical solutions using AI, coding, scripts and automation tools.
You don't need to be a full-time software developer, but you must have genuine hands-on technical ability and be comfortable building simple tools, writing scripts and showing non-technical colleagues how AI can improve the way they work.
Working closely with senior leadership, you'll have the opportunity to make a visible impact on how the organisation operates day to day.
Key Responsibilities:
HR Administration
- Manage day-to-day HR administration including contracts, offer letters and starter/leaver processes
- Maintain accurate employee files, right-to-work documentation, training records, absence and holiday information
- Coordinate recruitment administration including interviews, candidate communication and applicant tracking
- Support probation reviews, performance review cycles and employee relations administration
- Produce HR reports and management information for senior leadership
- Use AI tools to improve the efficiency, accuracy and consistency of HR administration
- Escalate matters requiring specialist employment law advice to external HR support
AI, Coding & Process Automation
- Act as the organisation's internal AI and digital systems champion
- Identify repetitive administrative processes that could be improved or automated using technology
- Build simple scripts, macros, templates and automations using tools such as Python, VBA, Power Automate or similar
- Develop AI-assisted workflows for document drafting, reporting, data processing and record summarisation
- Explore practical uses of tools such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude across different departments
- Support the development of simple dashboards and reporting tools
- Test and recommend new AI tools where there is a clear and practical business benefit
- Work with external AI/IT specialists where more complex development or integration is required
