What you’ll be doing

• Maintaining accurate workforce data, training records and SQEP assurance using Excel (with potential future exposure to Power BI)
• Supporting recruitment, onboarding and security processes in line with internal and regulatory requirements
• Acting as a key point of contact for new starters, including delivering office inductions
• Working with discipline leads to support workforce planning and ensure new starters are fully embedded
• Coordinating with security and internal support functions to keep information current and compliant
• Liaising proactively with recruitment teams and agencies
• Handling sensitive commercial and personal information with discretion
• Deputising for the Operations Manager at meetings when required
• Working confidently under time pressure in a fast‑moving, regulated environment

• Highly organised, detail‑focused and proactive
• Comfortable communicating with stakeholders at all levels
• Able to work with minimal supervision and adapt quickly to change
• Trusted, discreet and professional

Why this role

• Clear development opportunities within operations and programme delivery
• A role with visibility, responsibility and influence
• Hybrid working with a strong on‑site team presence (minimum 3 days onsite)
