ABOUT US 

Transforming lives through excellent education 

London Met is an extraordinary institution. Equity and social inclusion have always been our driving principles, and it's what makes the University so unique. Our organisation is distinctive, both in its eclectic and diverse community of students and staff, and also for its historical role in serving some of London’s most deprived boroughs. Everything we do is underpinned by our philosophy that an individual should have the opportunity to transform their life through the power of education. 

Equipping our students with the tools for their future is at the heart of our academic offering. We pride ourselves on providing our students with access to a wealth of opportunities and professions. Our graduates benefit personally, but also contribute their unique perspectives to society, culture, public service and the economy in all areas of London, the UK and around the world. 

Our new hybrid working approach gives our staff the flexibility to work in a way that better suits their lifestyle. We are highly committed in the ongoing further development, support and progression of our HR team 

ABOUT THE POST

If you already have some experience of working in a HR department, or related area such as payroll or recruitment, in a large and complex organisation, then this HR Assistant role will be a good opportunity for you to learn and develop your skills and knowledge in a broad range of HR activities and functions.
