About the Role
On behalf of our client, the prestigious Harris Federation, Randstad is seeking a meticulous and proactive HR Administrator to join their central HR team at the Head Office in Croydon.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a skilled administrator looking to secure a minimum 3-month contract covering key capacity gaps over the crucial summer break. This position offers a fantastic hybrid working model, allowing you to work 2 days a week from home while spending the remaining days collaborating with the team in their modern Croydon office.

System Management: Managing data entry and executing updates within internal HR systems (including Oracle/Compass-related platforms).
-
General Administration: Providing comprehensive, day-to-day administrative support across Academy HR activity, including supporting documentation workflows for a busy central HR team.
What We Are Looking For:
-
Strong administrative skills with a proven track record in a fast-paced environment (prior HR or education sector experience is highly desirable but not essential).
-
Exceptional attention to detail-especially when managing sensitive compliance documents like the Single Central Record.
-
The ability to multi-task efficiently and manage your workload accurately during a peak summer period.
-
A self-motivated mindset with the ability to work independently on your remote days.
-
Comfortable utilising HR software systems (experience with Oracle or Compass is a major plus).
