We will respond to all applicants, regardless of suitability, so if you don't hear from us please check your junk mail.

Are you ready to be the backbone of a fast-growing, cutting-edge company that is striving to make the world a better place? We're looking for an organised and proactive administrator to keep the growing office & HR operations running smoothly as we help save the planet.

As a rapidly expanding business, no two days are the same and our team members often need to wear multiple hats – so we’re looking for an experienced administrator to play a multi-faceted role for our office and HR responsibilities.

You’ll be joining us during a period of high growth, so will have the opportunity to make a real impact on our future success. You will get to use your existing administration and HR experience and will also be supported to keep building your skills so you can help us navigate the challenges a growing business faces.

We’re a small business that is developing, so HR administration will only take up part of your time initially, but will be supported by external agency experts. You will also be busy providing administrative support for the overall day to day running of the office environment, as well as to our chief executive and chairman of the Board. This will involve taking on a variety of tasks and duties to enable them to focus on delivering the key business milestones and growth. This will give you the opportunity to work closely with and learn from experienced industry leaders, rapidly developing your skills and knowledge.

In order to be successful in this position, you should be detail-orientated, professional, act with confidentiality and integrity, have excellent written and verbal communication skills and possess the ability to take initiative where needed.

Key areas of responsibility

• Managing the day-to-day running of the office, including primary responsibility for answering the company’s main telephone line, ensuring all office supplies are kept stocked, welcoming visitors, overseeing the various office-based contractors, e.g., cleaning, workwear, etc.
  
• Administrative support to the executive team and business, including calendar coordination, making travel arrangements, facilitating Board meetings, managing correspondence, preparing and reviewing documents, and other general office duties.
  
• Serve as the company’s Data Protection Officer for GDPR compliance
  
• First point of contact for employee HR and administration issues, for example answering employee questions on remuneration and benefits, advising on company HR policies and procedures, acting as a key participating in any disciplinary proceedings, etc.
  
• Day-to-day HR administration, e.g. updating records, liaising with staff and management, delivering policy updates, completing and filing statutory documents.
  
• Liaising with external HR stakeholders, e.g. legal advisors, recruiters.
  

Requirements

• Excellent administration and organisational skills.
  
• Some relevant experience in HR support in a business context (CIPD ideal but not a deal breaker)
  
• Experience reviewing, editing, and drafting company policies.
  
• Knowledge of employment law and practices.
  
• Strong proficiency in MS Office suite.
  
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  
• Live within a commutable distance from NG7 Nottingham.
  
• Already fully eligible to work in the UK (not needing sponsorship now or in the future).
  

As a growing scale-up, we think it is critical to have a competitive ‘total compensation’ philosophy allowing us to attract and retain the very best talent for our team. Our current benefits package includes:

• Annual performance-based bonus
  
• Flexible approach to working
  
• Company pension plan
  
• Private medical insurance
  
• Group life insurance
