We have a great opportunity for an administrator to join the HR Business Improvement Team based within our Wakefield One building in central Wakefield. This is an excellent opportunity to use and develop your administration and customer service skills to support our day-to-day work, projects, and ongoing developmental work.

You will be involved in a broad range of HR work and will be able to co-ordinate and steer administration processes associated with, amongst other things, senior recruitment, job evaluation, organisational change, and early retirement.

You will be able to work collaboratively and effectively with colleagues to ensure we deliver a professional and customer focused service, including ensuring we respond to questions and requests for information in a timely and professional manner. Ideally you will have experience of working within HR, but don’t worry if you don’t as we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
