HR Administrator - Part Time in Edinburgh

We’re looking for a friendly and highly organised HR Administrator to join our team and help keep our HR processes running smoothly. This role would suit someone who enjoys working in a structured way, takes real pride in getting the details right, and understands how important accurate information is in HR. You’ll be a key part of the team, helping to make sure our people data is reliable, up to date, and handled with care.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for updating and maintaining the HR database, making sure employee records are accurate, complete, and kept up to date at all times. You’ll support the day to day administration of HR processes, ensuring everything is followed correctly and consistently. This will include preparing HR documentation, supporting payroll related administration, and responding to routine HR queries. You’ll also carry out regular checks on data and records, spotting errors, correcting them, and helping to improve the way information is recorded and maintained.

You’re someone who likes things to be done properly and takes a careful, methodical approach to your work. HR experience is not required, but you’ll have previous experience in an administrative role and be comfortable working with databases or HR systems. Attention to detail is a must, along with the ability to follow processes, have a customer service approach and handle confidential information with discretion. You’ll be confident using Microsoft Office, happy learning new systems, and comfortable communicating clearly with colleagues.

We are a small team with a big remit, so you will need to be a real team player with a positive mindset and ability to be flexible and responsive to changing requirements. This is a part time role, but we offer flexibility in working hours, including flexi time and the possibility to work at home, after a training period.

If this sounds like a role you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you. We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that supports others. Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life’s challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
