The Role

About us

Thank you for your interest in our role. We are a friendly and positive team of 14 HR colleagues and are looking for an equally friendly and positive colleague to work with us in our diverse and interesting HR service. We were brought together as a team in November 2019. We have achieved a lot during the last 3 years' and have refreshed our service to achieve a more joined up and professional HR service, which in turn has resulted in a much more resilient and responsive service. There couldn't be a better time to join us. This is one of our 1st openings in the administrative team since early 2020, because of an internal promotion. This demonstrates the positive culture and ethos of our team. We would love to hear from you.

About the Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Administrator with an interest in HR and a passion for excellent customer service and service delivery. Working in a team of 7 HR Administrators, you will provide a comprehensive HR administrative service to the Faculty of Medical Sciences.

As the first point of contact for our 2000+ colleagues in the faculty, our team are responsible for many aspects of HR, including recruitment and selection, contract renewals and terminations, leavers, promotions, probation, and for first line advice for our people policies. You'll develop relationships with our vibrant colleagues across diverse career pathways.

This is a fast-paced role and, at times, can be pressurising. We are seeking a confident communicator with great interpersonal skills and an aptitude for quickly building positive working relationships with colleagues and stakeholders at all levels. You will work successfully as a member of our team as well as an individual, prioritising your own workload to meet demand and deadlines. Although training and ongoing support will be provided, it is essential you are IT literate and can navigate complex systems quickly and effectively.

The role is fixed term for 12 months and fulltime, we would be happy to discuss arrangements for flexible and/or blended working.

You will be co-located in a designated location and should be willing to work flexibly across campus locations and work from home, as determined by your line managers.
