Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is looking to recruit an additional administrator for our dynamic People & Organisational Development team. In this role you will provide administrative support for key HR-related processes, including on and offboarding staff, contract and reference management, recruitment and training administration, plus keeping our people databases and filing systems accurate and up to date, along with a variety of other general administrative duties.
Applicants should have previous administration experience, ideally gained within a People team, although that’s not essential. We’re looking for someone who has strong organisational skills, can demonstrate good attention to detail, and is able to communicate clearly on a variety of people-related matters across the organisation. You should be self-motivated, with the ability to work autonomously as part of a small team.
Although we see this as a full-time role (35 hours per week) we would also consider applicants looking to work with us on a part-time basis. If this is your preference please indicate how many hours and days per week you would prefer to work.
As this is a short-term contract we will be looking at applications on a regular basis and may opt to close the application window before the closing date.
Closing date: 12pm GMT on Monday 28 September 2026.
