Grade C

Are you looking for a new role in a business that really does see a different world. Where potential is seen and progress is nurtured.

Are you highly organised, confident with data and always thinking one step ahead?

We’re growing our Workforce Management function and looking for a Planning Administrator to help us plan smarter, anticipate future resourcing needs and keep our operations running smoothly.

This is more than managing today’s schedule of our people. You’ll use data and our systems to look ahead, anticipate demand and support our frontline workforce planning up to 12 months in advance.

If you have exceptional customer service and administration skills, enjoy working with data and are ready to make a real impact, this could be the perfect next step in your career with a world-leading security partner as a Planning Administrator.

Job Description

What you’ll be doing: 

You'll help turn workforce data into effective forward planning:

• Build and maintain workforce plans and rosters up to 12 months ahead
• Use data, trends and forecasts to anticipate demand
• Spot potential coverage and resourcing gaps early
• Use systems such as Timegate to maintain accurate schedules and workforce data
• Make sure plans are accurate, compliant and aligned with operational needs
• Work with colleagues across the business to understand upcoming requirements
• Support recruitment planning by identifying future workforce needs
• Help maintain payroll accuracy through accurate data and query resolution
• Check people are trained, compliant and ready for deployment
• Look for smarter, more efficient ways of working

New to workforce planning or Timegate? Don’t let that stop you. While previous scheduling or rostering experience would be useful, we’re looking for people with the right transferable skills, particularly strong organisation, planning, customer service and stakeholder management.

Please Note: This list is not extensive but gives a good overview of the duties of the role! We welcome applicants from different industries, and innovators ready to make a big impact!

Qualifications

What you’ll bring: 

We’re looking for someone who is organised, detail-focused, and confident working with systems and data. 

• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage longer-term priorities 
• Good IT skills, with experience using systems such as Timegate (or similar WFM tools) 
• The ability to work independently and take ownership of your workload 
• Good written and verbal communication skills 
• A proactive, structured approach with a focus on getting things right first time 
• Right to work in the UK 
• 5-year checkable employment history 
• Ability to embody our values of Integrity, Vigilance and Helpfulness
