At St Luke’s Hospice, our people make everything we do possible. We are looking for an exceptional People Services Administrator to join our small, friendly and busy People Services team.
This is a varied and important role at the heart of the organisation. You will support the employee and volunteer lifecycle from recruitment and onboarding through to payroll administration, record keeping, compliance checks and general People Services support. You will help keep key processes moving, maintain accurate people data and provide a professional, responsive and helpful service to managers, staff, volunteers and candidates.
About You
We are looking for someone who is not only an excellent administrator, but someone who genuinely enjoys helping people and providing a first-class service.
You will be highly organised, efficient and detail-focused, with the ability to work quickly and accurately in a busy environment. You will be confident communicating with people at all levels, comfortable managing a varied workload and able to handle confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
This role would suit someone who is approachable, conscientious and proactive, with a positive “can do” attitude. You will enjoy finding solutions, improving processes, using systems effectively and supporting colleagues across the organisation.
