About the job

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Aston University’s HR Systems team at a pivotal time as the University delivers on its Aston 2030 Strategy. The HR Systems Advisor will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of HR systems while also contributing to longer-term system improvements and enhancements. Reporting to the Head of HR Systems, the postholder will provide end-user support, troubleshoot issues, and collaborate with HR colleagues on projects, upgrades, and process improvements. This is a hands-on role that balances operational support with the chance to influence innovation, efficiency, and impact across HR processes. The successful candidate will be a proactive problem-solver with excellent communication and organisational skills, strong attention to detail, and prior experience in system support or user assistance. While experience with reporting and data analysis is desirable, it is not essential. In return, Aston offers a vibrant campus environment, hybrid working, generous annual leave (30 days plus 13 bank holidays and closure days), access to professional development opportunities, family-friendly policies, and a range of staff benefits including discounted gym membership. This role may meet the requirements for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship, subject to eligibility checks at shortlisting. Aston University values inclusivity, equality, and diversity, and is committed to fostering a supportive workplace where all staff can thrive.
