If you are someone who has previous experience of data entry, processing and analysing large volumes of data accurately, and are able to demonstrate a pro-active approach to work and the ability to prioritise a busy workload, then this could be a fantastic opportunity for you.
About the role
HES is a unique organisation with a broad range of functions. We are a ‘Non-department Public Body’ (NDPB) with charitable status, as well as operating as a national commercial business within the tourism sector. As our HR Administrative Assistant, you will work within the People Services team, which is responsible for delivering expert professional advice and support to managers and staff on all aspects of people management, fully reflecting organisational policy, current employment legislation and best practice.

To be successful, you will have previous experience working in a general office or have administration experience, proficient in the use of Microsoft packages, specifically Outlook, Word, Excel and Teams.
We’re looking for someone who has strong written communication skills, including experience of note taking. Ideally, you’d have experience of using web-based HR systems and SharePoint, but this isn’t essential and training will be provided.
