This role will be based from our Birmingham office and offers hybrid working. Your workload will always be varied. You will provide administrative support throughout the whole employee lifecycle to include managing the attendance process, supporting our new starter onboarding process by uploading new employees to the HR system, compiling new starter paperwork, monitoring the pre-employment checks and actioning the leaver process.

Providing an excellent standard of customer service, you will respond in a timely manner to HR queries from staff across the business whilst understanding and adopting HR policies and procedures and acting as an ambassador of Gateley.

The team

Our team of HR professionals work closely to support the group's business strategy. The team prides itself on supporting and driving our employees' personal and professional wellbeing to ensure they can maximise their full potential.

The person

With previous experience of working in a fast-paced professional environment you will always maintain confidentiality.

The successful candidate will have previous administration experience (HR experience desirable) with sound knowledge of IT including MS Word, Excel, and Outlook. CIPD level 3 would be advantageous but not essential. Your excellent telephone manner will make you a confident communicator at all levels, you produce accurate work and have an ability to check and deliver work on time, every time. A keen eye for detail is essential and punctuality and flexibility are key to success.
