Description
We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity to join our HR team as a Group HR Administrator at Newsquest Media Group Ltd. This role is perfect for someone looking to start or build a career in HR, or an experienced HR professional seeking a part-time role. We are committed to supporting the right person to succeed. Ideally, you will be based within a commutable distance of our Norwich or Bournemouth Office, where the rest of the team is based; however, this will be a remote-working opportunity. This is a part-time position (28 hours per week), with flexibility to agree your working pattern across Monday to Friday within normal office hours.
As part of our team, you will provide high-quality HR administration and support to managers and employees across the UK. You will be a key point of contact for everyday HR queries and play an important role in keeping our HR processes running smoothly.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is organised, proactive, and people-focused. Whether you already have some administrative experience or are looking to take your first step into HR, we are looking for someone with the right attitude, a willingness to learn, and the motivation to grow. If you are a self-starter who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, we would love to hear from you.
We also offer flexibility in how you work, with remote working options available. While there may be occasional requirements to attend the office or team meetings, this role is largely remote, giving you the balance and flexibility to work effectively from home.
Newsquest Media Group Ltd is the UKΓ’ΒΒs leading local news publisher, with more than 200 news brands and 29 magazines across print and digital. We reach over 50 million monthly online users and more than 4 million weekly print readers.
