About the Role
We’re seeking a diligent Administrator to provide essential, accuracy-focused support to the sustainability function.

- People & Planet return support (collating and preparing inputs)
- Travel and waste data collation
- Environmental compliance data logging
- 80% Excel-based work:
- Downloading data from tracking sheets
- Transferring and structuring data into spreadsheets for annual reports
- Ensuring data accuracy, consistency, and version control
What We’re Looking For
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy with large data sets
- Comfortable with repetitive tasks and maintaining clean records
- Reliable, proactive, and able to start immediately
- Experience with sustainability reporting, waste/environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting data, or HE sector returns is a plus (not essential)
Why This Role Might Suit You
- Short-term contract where you can make an immediate impact
- Clear, structured tasks with a supportive team
- Flexible start/finish window and low-cost parking (£2 all day)
- A great opportunity to build experience in sustainability administration and sector returns
