Provides administrative support to the HR department, including maintaining confidential employee records, filing and retention compliance, coordinating company events, creating forms, supporting training sessions, and assisting the main office and Accounting Department. The role requires strong organization, communication, confidentiality, independence, and the ability to manage priorities in a fast-paced office environment.
We're looking for a part time HR Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced environment, juggles priorities like a pro, and genuinely enjoys helping people.
This isn't a sit-back-and-wait role. You'll be right in the middle of the action — supporting our HR Manager and interacting with personnel at every level of the organization. One day you might be coordinating a company event; the next, you're maintaining confidential employee records or building a new form from scratch. If you like variety and can work independently without losing a beat, you'll fit right in. This is a part-time role from 7 AM - noon, Monday - Friday.
