The HR Administrator role is a newly created position within the HR department making this an exciting time to join our well-established team! With a total staff headcount of approximately 500, this will be a busy and varied role, providing administrative support to the HR Officers and an outstanding HR service to the College.

In return, we offer great team-work and a varied workload, an attractive salary, generous pension scheme, free use of our on-site sports centre, including a newly refurbished gymnasium, wellbeing activities, discounts on all our Adult Education courses, free onsite parking, cycle to work scheme and a commitment to supporting your ongoing professional development. 

The HR Administrator role will predominantly be an onsite position based on the College site in Cambridge, with the possibility of up to one day hybrid working per week upon the successful completion of the college probationary period. The two HR administrators will provide operational coverage across the HR operating hours of 8am - 4.30pm.

Each HR Administrator will provide direct HR administrative support to the HR Officer that they report into.
