I am an experienced administrator skilled in HR processes, payroll, and data-driven reporting.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly organised administrator with over five years of experience in busy office environments. I combine meticulous data collection and input with analytical problem-solving developed during an LLB in Law, and I run high-quality reports using SAP and other systems.
At Leeds City Council and Asda I processed invoices, managed escalations, maintained productivity (over 95%) and accuracy (98%), and authored guidance to simplify manual sick-pay processes. I provide customer-focused service, resolve pay and absence queries, and proactively implement process improvements to support teams and stakeholders.
