We are looking for a talented Administrator with strong organisational skills, a good understanding of confidentiality and data protection and an interest in developing a knowledge of HR. Originally advertised as full-time, we are now pleased to be able to offer the right candidate flexible part-time hours and an opportunity to work from home for at least part of the working week. If you are interested in the role on part-time hours and would like to take the opportunity to be based at home, please include an outline of your availability and proposal for location within your application.

We are interested in discussing availability during normal office hours and will be prepared to consider home-based working for at least part of the working week for the right candidate. Please include details of your proposal in your application in the ‘Additional Information’ section.
The salary will be calculated pro-rata and based on a full time equivalent annual salary of £20,645 (AFF full time hours are 37.5 hrs per week).
