Business Support Administrator (Fixed Term)

• Part time hours – immediate start
• HR and Back Office Support role
• Join a NZ owned and market leading consumer brand!

Are you a passionate administration all-rounder?  Do you enjoy a “behind the scenes” role providing support to a range of functions? Are you organised and have an eye for detail? Then we have the role for you!

Verkerks is NZ owned and Papanui-based, with a solid reputation for producing first-class salami and ferment type products. We are the market leader of our targeted categories and influential in the growth of our wider market segment.
We are currently seeking a suitable person to provide administrative assistance to the business on a part-time basis, with a particular focus on the Human Resources function. This is a guaranteed 30 hour per week role and is offered on a fixed term basis for up to 12 months. The hours of work will typically be Monday to Friday, 10.00am-4.30pm. A finishing time of at least 4.30pm is required to provide cover at our reception desk after other members of staff have finished for the day.

In this role you will work alongside the HR team to provide an efficient administration service for HR and other business functions. As well as completing a number of routine administrative tasks associated with the general functioning of the business (such as ordering stationery or organising couriers), this role will provide discreet, efficient support with HR and Health and Safety activities from assisting with recruitment to completing health and safety and HR reporting.

Our ideal candidate would possess:

• Experience working with standardised work routines and software systems (such as MS Word, Excel and Outlook) in a semi-professional setting;
• Exceptional time management and organisational skills, with the ability to not only manage their own workload but help others around them;
• The confidence to work on their own, and communicate with many stakeholders both internally and externally;
• A full and clean driver’s licence.

As a fixed term role, this would ideally suit a person looking to re-enter the workforce after a break and gain some recent experience, or alternatively, a person with exceptional organisational skills and an interest in starting a career in HR from the ‘ground up’.

If this is a role that you think may suit you, please email your CV and brief cover letter (less than a page, and outlining why you have chosen to apply to us and for this position) to [email protected]. For any questions, please call Sheryl on 03-375-1725 or Georgia on 03-375-1720.
