HR Team Administrator

The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) delivers world-class research, learning and teaching that transforms the knowledge, action and leadership needed for more equitable and sustainable development globally.

The HR Team at IDS are people focused, providing a professional service to all employees. Our HR vision is to put equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do, modelling the IDS values in our behaviours and practice and foster a culture of respect for people, policy and process.

We have an exciting opportunity as an Administrator to join our team. This is a key role working directly with the Director of HR but also supporting the HR Team as a whole. If you have a methodical approach to work, good attention to detail and you are tenacious with regular tasks then this could be the role for you. Key responsibilities include committee administration, processing contractual changes, arranging meetings and administrative support to the Director of HR.

This is a varied and busy role so candidates will need demonstrate, successful administrative experience involving excellent organisational and communication skills. As a member of the HR Team, the successful candidate must have strong interpersonal skills and be able to maintain confidentiality.

We particularly welcome applications from men for this vacancy as they are currently under-represented in our team.

Although IDS is a sponsoring organisation unfortunately we would not be able to obtain a certificate of sponsor for this particular post as the role does not meet the requirements (skills & salary threshold) as outlined in the Skilled Worker guidelines
