We’re looking for a bright, highly organised and proactive HR Administrator to join the busy HR team of a leading media and events business based in the heart of London’s West End, close to Oxford Circus.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with excellent administration skills who enjoys being at the centre of a busy team, keeping things organised and making sure the day-to-day HR function runs smoothly.

Please note: This is a fully office-based position, requiring attendance in the office five days per week. The business operates in a live broadcast environment, so a consistent on-site presence is essential to support the team and the wider business.

Initially offered as a 6-week contract, there is potential for the role to become permanent for the right person.

The Role

Working closely with the wider HR team, you’ll provide essential administrative support across a range of HR and recruitment activities. You’ll be someone who enjoys getting stuck in, keeping on top of the detail and helping the team stay organised and efficient.

Responsibilities will include:

Maintaining and updating employee files, HR records and internal databases.
Logging and recording annual leave, sickness and other employee absences.
Supporting the coordination and scheduling of meetings, interviews and internal HR appointments.
Providing recruitment administration support, including arranging interviews, communicating with candidates and helping coordinate the hiring process.
Assisting with the preparation of offer letters, employment documentation and other basic HR paperwork.
Keeping employee records and documentation accurate, organised and up to date.
Helping with general HR administration and responding to day-to-day requests from employees and managers.
Providing ad hoc administrative support to the HR team as required.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is exceptionally organised, proactive and takes real pride in getting the detail right.

Exceptional attention to detail is essential. Accuracy is critical when maintaining employee records, updating HR systems and preparing documentation.
First-class English language skills, both written and verbal, are essential. You’ll need to be articulate, confident communicating with people at all levels and able to produce clear, accurate and professionally written correspondence.
Highly organised, methodical and naturally good at keeping on top of multiple tasks.
Bright, confident and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
Able to handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion.
Proactive, helpful and happy to roll up your sleeves and support wherever needed.
A confident user of Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, Word and Excel.
Reliable and comfortable working five days per week in a busy office environment.

Previous experience in an HR, recruitment or general administration role would be beneficial, although we’re also happy to consider someone with strong transferable administrative experience and a genuine interest in developing within HR.
