HR Assistant

Scottish Enterprise (SE) is Scotland’s main economic development agency. We help Scottish businesses to grow nationally and internationally, to become more efficient and innovative, and to access the funds they need to develop. We also attract overseas companies to invest in Scotland.

The difference you’ll make

This is your chance to develop your HR skills and experience, supporting SE’s HR Customer Delivery team to deliver a range of HR services. You’ll be working in a fast-paced environment where a pro-active approach is essential. Your administration skills will help you provide a first class service to your internal customers, and be confident dealing with external suppliers.

You'll carry out a range of general HR admin tasks. Specific duties will include:

• Helping with our payroll, recruitment, systems and people development processes
• Maintaining our employee data system
• Keeping our manual and electronic filing and archive systems up to date
• Editing HR content for the SE intranet

This is a fixed term role for twelve months. You’ll enjoy many benefits, including flexible working arrangements and a competitive paid holiday entitlement.

The qualities you’ll bring

You’ll have some experience of working in an office environment and delivering a high quality admin service. Ideally, you'll have knowledge of HR processes and practices and familiarity with payroll systems will be a bonus. You’ll know your way around Microsoft Office and be able to plan, organise and prioritise your own work.

You’ll be comfortable managing a varied workload, and dealing with your SE colleagues and external customers. Being a team player is important, as is having a keen eye for detail.
