The successful candidate will take ownership of their responsibilities, learn new processes and systems, and be comfortable stepping in wherever administrative support is needed. This is a varied role that will require flexibility, a strong work ethic and the ability to manage tasks independently once trained.
Previous HR experience would be an advantage, but strong general administrative experience is essential.

- Support team members with administrative requests and follow-ups.
- Communicate professionally with colleagues and relevant stakeholders.
- Help coordinate processes, paperwork and general operational tasks.
- Learn new systems, procedures and responsibilities as required.
- Take ownership of assigned tasks and ensure they are completed within expected timeframes.
- Identify outstanding items, follow up where necessary and help keep workflows running smoothly.
- Provide additional support to other departments or functions when required.
Minimum Requirements
- Previous experience in an administrative or office support role.
- Strong organisational and time-management skills.
- Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
- Comfortable handling repetitive, tedious and detail-intensive tasks.
- Good written and verbal communication skills.
- Confident using computers, spreadsheets, email and general business systems.
- Ability to learn new software, processes and procedures quickly.
- Able to manage multiple responsibilities and prioritise tasks effectively.
- Strong work ethic, reliability and willingness to take initiative.
- Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of responsibilities.
Advantageous Experience
- Previous HR or HR administration experience.
- Experience supporting multiple departments or business functions.
- Exposure to recruitment administration, onboarding, employee records or general HR processes.
- Experience working with internal databases, trackers or workflow systems.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone who is:
- Highly detail-oriented: Notices the small things and takes pride in getting tasks right.
- Administratively strong: Enjoys organising information, maintaining records and keeping things in order.
- Fast and efficient: Works at a good pace without compromising accuracy.
- Flexible: Happy to assist across different areas of the business as priorities change.
- A strong communicator: Comfortable communicating with colleagues, asking questions and following up.
- Proactive and dependable: Takes responsibility, follows through and does not need constant supervision.
- Hard-working: Has a genuine willingness to learn, contribute and put in the effort required to get the job done.
Important Expectations
This is a hands-on administrative role that may involve a variety of tasks and responsibilities. The successful candidate must be comfortable with repetitive work, changing priorities and being trained in different areas of the business.
We are looking for someone who wants to take ownership of their position, grow into the role and become a reliable support resource for the wider team.
