On top of working for the UK’s leading integrated health and safety experts, you’ll also receive:

• Competitive salary of £26,227.50
• Up to 8% Arco Pension contributions and Life Assurance worth 4 times your salary
• 32 days holiday inclusive of bank holidays plus 2 fully paid Community Volunteering days every year
• Opportunity to purchase 5 additional days annual leave each calendar year (subject to qualifying salary)
• Access to hundreds of discounts through Perkbox, plus receive employee discount on Arco products
• Health Cash Plan that allows you to reclaim costs for everyday health expenses such as dental treatment, eye tests and physiotherapy
• Access learning resources, qualifications and development opportunities to help you grow, progress and achieve your career ambitions
• Long-term service awards – we’re proud to have employees who have worked for us for 40 year

The ideal HR Administrator will have:

• Previous administration experience in HR or another customer-focused environment; HR experience is welcome but not essential
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail
• Confident IT skills, including Microsoft Office applications such as Outlook, Word, Excel and SharePoint
• A strong customer-service mindset and clear, professional communication skills
• The ability to handle sensitive and confidential information appropriately
• Confidence managing competing priorities and working accurately to deadlines
• A proactive approach, with the ability to use initiative while knowing when to ask for support
• An interest in HR and a willingness to learn our systems, policies and processes
