About the role

We have an excellent opportunity to join our Division of Human Resources, providing administrative and project support to the HR Business Partner within (Professional Services)

Working from both home and campus, you will deliver a range of responsibilities which will include supporting day-to-day operational requirements as well as specific projects, such as the management of the Professional Services shared inbox, coordinating and administering the University’s recognised staff reward and recognition schemes, and responding to queries where appropriate.

You will support the delivery of a comprehensive HR service and maximise the reputation of the HR function through the delivery of a wide range of complex administrative processes, using HR databases, analysing and presenting management information, coordinating meetings and diary management.
