HR Administrator (Apprentice)

Salary: Apprenticeship Rate

Working Hours: 37 hours per week, 52 weeks per year

This is a Trust vacancy and therefore travel between our two sites at Richard Taunton College in Southampton and St Vincent College in Gosport will be a requirement. We will negotiate a permanent base for the successful candidate post interview.

We are seeking a highly organised, efficient and customer focussed HR Administrator (Apprentice) to join our friendly, professional and busy HR and Payroll team. Reporting to the HR Operations Manager, the HR Administrator (Apprentice) will provide administrative support on all aspects of HR.

Some of your duties will include:

•  Triage of all HR queries and referrals as appropriate;
•  Staff absence administration;

•  Assist the HR Recruitment Co-ordinator with recruitment administration including advert and candidate management, interview arrangements and on-boarding procedures.

The successful candidate will ideally be CIPD qualified to an appropriate level (or working towards the qualification), with good experience of administrative support and providing advice to employees and managers. A background working in the education environment would be preferred, but it is not essential.

The HR Administrator (Apprentice) will be able to manage a busy and varied workload, be confident to work on their own initiative and have the ability to bring a positive and professional approach to interactions with a wide range of internal and external contacts.

Accuracy and an eye for detail are vital, alongside organisation and time management skills, to ensure deadlines are met. Our ideal candidate will be someone with focus who is used to working in a busy and varied office environment where no two days are the same.

The successful candidate will be required to work 37 hours per week, full year.

All successful candidates will be required to complete an enhanced DBS disclosure.
