You will have experience of working in a team and experience of working on your own initiative to resolve issues.

We welcome applications from experienced administrators, with an eye for detail and passion for HR. The successful applicant must be flexible and able to deal quickly and appropriately to individual situations as they arise, as well as communicate effectively with a wide range of people in a proactive and customer-focused way.

We are committed to training and developing our staff and there may be opportunities to get involved with project and case work to support the wider HR Team.

In return, we can offer a stimulating and challenging work environment, with the opportunity to have a real impact on commercial, as well as opportunity for career progression with a highly regarded organisation.

At WMG we are committed to supporting staff to achieve their potential.
