Job description

Are you a highly organised administrator with an eye for detail and a passion for people? At Smithers, we’re looking for a part-time HR Assistant to join our team in Shawbury, Shropshire. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a global life sciences company while supporting both our HR and Quality teams in a role that’s varied, rewarding, and flexible enough to fit around your life.

In this role, you'll provide vital administrative support across HR and Quality functions. From maintaining employee records to assisting with recruitment, onboarding, and employee engagement activities – no two days will be the same. You’ll also be involved in processing SOPs, managing document archives, and ensuring everything runs smoothly and in line with our compliance standards. Whether you’re coordinating interviews or logging customer feedback, you’ll be central to helping our teams deliver excellence.

We’re looking for someone who has experience in HR, quality, or general office administration. You’ll need strong organisational and communication skills, a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with accuracy and professionalism. If you’re personable, approachable, and thrive in a collaborative environment – you’ll fit right in. A basic qualification in HR or Quality would be a bonus, but it’s not essential.

At Smithers, we’re proud to be a global leader in the life sciences industry. Our Shawbury team is close-knit, welcoming, and committed to making a real difference through science and innovation. We believe in supporting our people just as much as our clients, and that’s why we offer a fantastic benefits package. This includes a competitive salary, company pension scheme, private BUPA medical insurance, life insurance, and flexible hours – perfect if you're looking to fit work around school runs or other commitments.

If you’re ready to bring your admin skills to a role that matters, we’d love to hear from you.
