Role overview
We have an exciting opportunity for a HR Administrator to join us on a full-time basis at our service in Whiteley. This role will be 37.5 hours over 5 days.
It is a varied role, and you will support the efficient running of the HR service, undertaking a wide range of duties.
You will manage the full recruitment process, conducting screening calls and managing candidates and communications at all stages of the recruitment process.
You’ll be dealing with routine HR queries, maintaining employee records, coordinating employee induction and mandatory training as well as providing administrative support across HR processes including performance, absence, disciplinary and grievance issues.
You’ll ensure a high degree of accuracy in the HR Information System and ensure clinical registrations are monitored and updated in a timely manner.
Our clinics are busy so you will need to be able to work in a fast paced and changing environment. Every day with us is different; you will need great organisational skills as you will be juggling multiple tasks and working to deadlines while maintaining accuracy.
