Role overview
We have an exciting opportunity for a HR Administrator to join us on a part-time basis at our service in Shrewsbury. This role will be 30 hours over 5 days.
It is a varied role, and you will support the efficient running of the HR service, undertaking a range of duties.
You will manage the full recruitment process, conduct screening calls and managing candidates and communications at all stages of the recruitment process.
You’ll be dealing with routine HR queries, maintaining employee records, coordinating employee induction and mandatory training as well as providing administrative support across HR processes including performance, absence, disciplinary and grievance issues.
You’ll ensure a high degree of accuracy in the HR Information System and ensure clinical registrations are monitored and updated in a timely manner.
Our clinics are busy so you will need to be able to work in a fast paced and changing environment. Every day with us is different; you will need great organisational skills as you will be juggling multiple tasks and working to deadlines while maintaining accuracy. We’re looking for someone who is a good team player, with an adaptable, flexible approach and a willingness to learn.

You’ll have previous experience working in a HR role within a healthcare or other regulated industry and having obtained CIPD Level 3 would be advantageous but not essential.
Ideally, you’ll have some payroll experience along with experience of administering pre-employment checks. You’ll also have experience of using a HR Information System to maintain up to date and accurate employee information and will be a competent user of all Office 365 programmes.
You’ll have an excellent grasp of the English language both verbally and in written format and you’ll be comfortable dealing with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.
