HR and Finance responsibilities include providing support to hiring managers for recruitment and interviews, inducting new members of staff, keeping records up to date, advising on casual engagement options and setting these up, raising purchase orders, processing claims, budget monitoring, month end and year-end financial reconciliation. Supporting the wider School Operations team, you will help with restocking photocopiers and resolving faults, reporting building maintenance issues, and support with office moves. You should have experience of working in a relevant/related administrative environment, and high level of IT skills, including MS Word, Excel and O365.
