Job description

Who are we?

Seloxium Ltd. is a dynamic spin-out company from the University of Oxford. We are revolutionising clean growth and the circular economy within the mining & refining sectors by selectively recovering high-value metals from in-process or effluent water streams.

• Training Administration: Maintaining safety training record, arranging individual and group training and company-wide annual re-training as needed for compliance.
• Team Events: actively helping to plan and run employee social and training events.

To succeed in this role, you should demonstrate:

• A strong overall educational background, probably graduate or relevant equivalent vocational qualifications.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a proven ability to handle sensitive employee, legal, and financial information with strict confidentiality.
• Experience maintaining and updating HR Information Systems to ensure data integrity across the employee lifecycle.
• The ability to form positive relationships with colleagues and be able to resolve conflicts considerately and professionally.
• A track record of coordinating seamless starter and leaver logistics, including contract delivery, background checks, IT/equipment coordination, and induction schedules.
• The ability to prioritise competing operational demands in a fast-paced environment, with a proactive approach to automating and streamlining administrative workflows.
• Practical experience in supporting a busy HR Manager, juggling multiple tasks and activities, and seeing tasks through to completion
• Empathy for team members whilst maintaining confidentiality and supporting the company.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Professionalism, flexibility and can-do attitude.
