Interim HR Administrator

The Role

Working as a key point of contact for staff and the wider organisation, you will provide essential day-to-day HR and operational support.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Managing HR administration, including onboarding, offer letters and contract changes.
• Maintaining and updating HR templates, documentation and records.
• Acting as a first point of contact for staff queries and resolving or escalating issues appropriately.
• Supporting staff with practical office-related matters, including IT and workplace logistics.
• Managing office supplies and ensuring the office runs smoothly.
• Liaising with external service providers and managing day-to-day supplier relationships.
• Supporting wider HR and operational processes as required.
• Identifying potential issues proactively and ensuring they are escalated to the appropriate person.
• Providing general administrative support across the organisation.

About You

We are looking for someone who is much more than a purely administrative support function.

You will be a proactive, dependable and approachable individual who naturally takes ownership and gets things done.

You Will Ideally Have

• Previous experience in an HR administration, HR operations, office management or similar role.
• Excellent organisational skills and strong attention to detail.
• The confidence to work independently and manage competing priorities.
• A proactive approach, with the ability to anticipate what needs to be done rather than waiting to be asked.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• A friendly and approachable manner, with excellent listening skills.
• The ability to handle confidential and sensitive information appropriately.
• A practical, hands-on attitude and willingness to support wherever needed.
• The confidence to identify issues, find solutions and escalate appropriately.
• Experience within a Christian faith-based environment would be welcomed, although this is a preference rather than a requirement.

Why Apply?

• £34,000–£37,000 per annum, pro rata.
• Fixed-term contract for up to 6 months.
• Hybrid working, with 2–3 days per week in the office.
• A varied role combining HR, operations and office management.
• The opportunity to make a tangible impact within a busy and values-led organisation.
• An immediate opportunity to take ownership of a newly defined role.
