About the Role

This role is ideal for an experienced administrator looking to further develop skills in a professional HR environment. You will provide high-quality business support to a busy HR team — focusing on meeting coordination, note‑taking, scheduling, documentation and maintaining accurate records. Rather than leading HR activities, you will support them administratively, helping the team run smoothly and efficiently.

• A high level of attention to detail and accuracy in written work
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
• The ability to handle confidential information respectfully and professionally

This Role Would Suit You If

• You enjoy structured admin work and keeping systems organised
• You communicate confidently and professionally with staff at all levels
• You thrive on supporting a team rather than leading the HR process
• You're reliable, proactive, and able to balance priorities effectively
• You'd like to gain HR exposure while primarily focusing on administration
