About the Role

We're looking for an organised, proactive and people-focused HR Administrator to join our small, friendly team and UKCISA.

You’ll play a key role in supporting the full employee and volunteer lifecycle, helping us create a positive and inclusive experience for everyone who works with us.

This is a varied role where no two weeks look the same. You’ll support recruitment, onboarding, HR administration, volunteer governance, and small improvement projects — all with the guidance of our Head of Finance & Resources and an external HR advisor when needed.

If you enjoy meaningful work, value autonomy, and like being part of a mission‑driven organisation, this could be a great fit.

About UKCISA

The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) support international students and the institutions, students’ unions and organisations who work with them. Our mission is to ensure every international student has a positive, supportive and informed experience throughout their time in the UK.

We are a small team of around 20 permanent staff, working closely with a network of volunteers, trustees and member organisations. Despite our size, our impact is significant – we provide expert guidance, training, policy insight and a trusted advice line that helps shape the national conversation on international student experience.

We’re collaborative, values-driven and committed to creating an inclusive environment for both our staff and the communities we serve.

Further information about us and the services we provide can be found on our website.
