Business Support Administrator

Business Support Recruitment Administrator

Are you looking for a new opportunity in an office-based role where no two days are the same? Do you enjoy supporting business operations, meeting new people, working to deadlines, and delivering excellent customer service? If so, this could be the perfect role for you.

Driver Hire Edinburgh is looking to recruit an enthusiastic and motivated Business Support Recruitment Administrator to join our friendly and supportive team. This is a varied role that plays a key part in the smooth day-to-day running of the business. You’ll receive full training, mentoring, and ongoing support to help you build confidence, develop new skills, and support our continued transition to a more digital, paperless office.

(Including but not limited to)

• Providing administrative and operational support to the office and wider business
• Handling incoming and outgoing telephone calls
• Managing personal and shared office email inboxes
• Advertising temporary and permanent vacancies via our microsite, job boards, and social media platforms
• Screening CVs and interviewing candidates
• Conducting Right to Work checks in line with current legislation
• Completing online DVLA licence checks
• Managing the bespoke Driver Hire online application portal
• Creating and posting content across local social media channels (Facebook, X, and Tik Tok)
• Maintaining accurate records through data cleansing within our in‑house system
• Supporting the move to a paperless office by scanning and digitising historic records
• Attending local job fairs and recruitment events
• Completing daily and weekly administrative tasks
• Delivering a consistently high level of customer service to candidates, clients, and colleagues

You’ll be responsible for managing your own workload, so strong organisational and time‑management skills are essential, along with a professional, proactive, and customer‑focused approach.

Previous experience in business support, administration, customer service, sales, recruitment, or logistics would be beneficial, but is not essential; full training will be provided.

Comprehensive training will be provided, covering:

• Driver Hire business operations
• In‑house IT systems
• Relevant transport legislation

Training is delivered through a mix of on‑the‑job shadowing, structured learning modules, and access to our Sales Academy.
