Job description

Relevant HR administration experience - required
Extremely well organised - essential.
Strong Administrative Skills.

Office Administrator with HR SW1, Central London £35,000 per annum DOE Permanent Full-time Office-based Monday-Friday, 9.15am-5.45pm We are recruiting an experienced Office & HR Coordinator to join our client, a private office in SW1.

This is not a purely HR role or a traditional general administration position. We are looking for an experienced all-round office professional with solid, hands-on HR administration experience who is confident taking ownership and working independently.

Reporting to the Head of HR, you'll support HR administration across the employee lifecycle while playing an important role in the smooth day-to-day running of the office.

We're looking for someone proactive, personable, computer savvy and resilient - the sort of person who spots what needs doing and gets on with it.

What will you be doing?

HR Administration
Drafting contracts and employment documentation
Supporting references and background checks
Coordinating onboarding, inductions and probation reviews
Maintaining HR and time & attendance systems
Monitoring absence and producing reports
Supporting monthly, fortnightly and seasonal payroll administration
Pension auto-enrolment and benefits administration
Joiner and leaver administration
Supporting disciplinary and grievance processes
Health & Safety administration
Coordinating staff training and producing HR reports

Office Administration & Coordination

Acting as a key point of contact for day-to-day office matters
Taking ownership of general office administration
Providing basic IT support and troubleshooting
Providing PA/secretarial and Reception cover when required
Liaising with external suppliers and the archive provider
Coordinating staff events, including the annual Christmas party
Identifying outstanding tasks and ensuring they are followed through

About You You'll have strong all-round administration experience gained within a commercial/private-sector business environment, including genuine hands-on HR administration.

We're particularly looking for someone who:

Is proactive, self-motivated and comfortable taking ownership
Has practical experience of HR processes such as contracts, onboarding, payroll support, employee records and benefits
Is highly organised with excellent attention to detail
Is confident with technology, systems and Microsoft Office
Communicates clearly and confidently with people of different ages, backgrounds, seniority levels and personalities
Is resilient, adaptable and not easily fazed by challenging or unexpected situations
Can manage competing priorities and work independently
Uses initiative during quieter periods rather than waiting for work to be delegated
Is discreet and professional when handling confidential information

CIPD is not essential - strong, relevant hands-on experience is more important.

This role is unlikely to suit someone seeking a purely HR/recruitment-focused position, or someone whose experience has primarily involved completing administrative tasks delegated by others.

What's on Offer?

£35,000 per annum DOE
Five weeks' annual leave
Contributory pension
Discretionary Christmas bonus
Excellent benefits package
Stable, long-established organisation
Friendly, supportive and sociable team
Varied role with genuine responsibility and autonomy

This is a great opportunity for an experienced all-round office professional who enjoys variety, builds relationships easily and likes being the dependable person colleagues know they can turn to.
