Job Description

In this role, you'll focus on providing outstanding customer service to our stakeholders across One YMCA. Previous HR experience (including using a HR system) would be an advantage. But if you don't have HR experience, we'd still like to look at your application - just take extra care to highlight your transferable experience in your cover letter, especially Excel, systems and numerical skills (you'll need this for annual leave calculations and simple pay queries). At the end of this advert, we've said what we would like you to highlight in your letter.

You'll need to demonstrate great attention to detail and have the ability to work in an environment with conflicting priorities. You'll be comfortable working with spreadsheets and you'll be trusted not to make mistakes on contracts, letters or simple calculations.

About the role: Alongside another HR Administrator, you'll be responsible for administering all people operational processes that spans the entire employee lifecycle. You will be a point of contact for people query-related matters, and you will be responsible for maintaining our Employee systems with quality and accurate information. Here are some examples of what we'll ask from you:

• Administer new starters and on boarding. Write offer letters & prepare contracts of employment.
• Manage the compliance process of employees including pre-employment checks.
• Oversee administration and transactional activities and input onto our Employee system (Select HR & Workspace).
• Act as a point of contact for queries from employees and managers, including the management of the Human Resources inbox.
• Administer processes including absences and parental leave.

Benefits: We offer more than the salary. Our benefits include hybrid working, a health cash plan contributing to medical, optician and dental costs, FREE gym membership in St Albans (or discounted membership in your local area), numerous retail discounts, a 24/7 GP adviceline (including video consultations), an employee assistance programme and life cover.

Hours, pay and location: This role is full-time and pays £23,991 per annum. Hours are Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm. We offer hybrid working. You'll be able to work from home much of the time, but you'll need to be willing and able to attend our office locations. Our main office bases are in Watford, but you might need to travel further afield from time to time. Ownership of a car would be helpful, but not essential provided you can reach Watford easily.

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

Whatever your work background, we're keen to see your application - we welcome administrative experience in the private or public sectors, not-for-profit, financial, retail and any other industries. All we ask for is strong administrative ability, particularly in detail-oriented work.
