We are seeking an organised, enthusiastic and professional individual to join our friendly, supportive HR team in the Cavendish Laboratory. We have recently moved into our new home, the state-of-the-art Ray Dolby Centre, and would like to find a highly motivated individual with a positive attitude towards change and development to join us.
The successful candidate will assist on a wide range of HR administrative duties, including, but not limited to; support with recruitment and onboarding processes, including creating interview schedules and contacting candidates; undertaking right to work and basic screening checks; managing visitor administration and compliance requirements; logging and tracking sickness absence, and other essential HR administration.
You will be able to demonstrate a strong admin and IT background, along with excellent communication and interpersonal skills to enable you to offer a fantastic level of customer service. You will be highly organised and possess an ability to work reactively and flexibly as the role demands. You will understand how to handle sensitive information with discretion, and show exceptional attention to detail.
The hours are 22.5 per week, and the successful candidate will be required to work on a Friday, but we can be flexible with the other days. Please note your preferred working days in your application. During the probation period, the role holder will be required to work in the office. On successful completion of their probation, we will agree up to 1 day per week working from home, dependent on the operational needs of the team.
The ideal candidate will have some HR admin experience, but we will consider candidates who can demonstrate excellent administrative and organisation skills; the ability to produce work to a consistent high level of accuracy is essential.
