Role overview

About this role

Interim Administrator – HR

*Term-Time Only*
*Full-time or 4 days per week*
*c.£22,000 actual salary (c.£26,000 FTE)*
*Start: October 2026*
*Initially until December, likely to extend into 2027*

Are you an experienced Administrator who is highly organised, confident
with Excel and enjoys getting stuck into a variety of projects?

We are working with an established organisation to recruit an Interim
Administrator – HR to provide additional support during a particularly busy
period

This is a varied, project-focused administration role supporting a busy HR
function with recruitment, onboarding and wider administrative activity.
You don't necessarily need previous HR experience – strong administration
skills, attention to detail and the ability to pick things up quickly are
most important.

The role

Working closely with the HR team, you'll provide practical administrative
support across a range of projects and priorities, including:

- Preparing recruitment and induction documentation
- Supporting recruitment and onboarding administration
- Creating, maintaining and updating Excel spreadsheets and trackers
- Coordinating documentation and ensuring information is accurate and up
to date
- Attending meetings and supporting with notes and actions where required
- Helping to keep projects and key activities moving forward
- Providing additional administrative support across the HR function as
priorities arise

This isn't a reception or telephone-based administration role. You'll be
given responsibility for your own workload, so we're looking for someone
who is comfortable using their initiative and getting on with the task at
hand.

About you

You'll be a capable and adaptable Administrator who enjoys working in a
busy environment and can quickly become a trusted pair of hands.

We're particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:

- Strong previous administration experience
- Excellent Excel skills and confidence working with spreadsheets
- Strong organisation and attention to detail
- The ability to manage changing priorities
- A proactive, self-sufficient approach
- Good written communication skills
- The ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with
colleagues

Previous HR, recruitment or onboarding administration experience would be
useful but isn't essential. Solid administration experience is the priority.

The opportunity

This is a term-time-only interim position and is expected to run at least
until December, with a strong possibility of continuing into the new year.

The role can be considered on a full-time or four-day-per-week basis.

There may also be potential for the opportunity to develop into something
longer term, particularly for someone who brings relevant HR experience.

If you're an experienced Administrator looking for a varied interim
opportunity and are available to start during October, we'd love to hear
from you.

Apply now or contact Leanne Boddy at Macmillan Davies for further
information.
