Are you passionate about helping others succeed? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where safeguarding, compliance and communication really matter? We're looking for an HR Administrator (Recruitment) to join our Tigers Childcare team.
About Tigers Childcare
At Tigers Childcare, we create exceptional learning and care environments where children thrive through play, exploration and meaningful relationships. With 27 centres, we are proud to be one of Ireland's leading childcare providers committed to continuous improvement, inclusion, and child-led learning.
Our values centre on respect, curiosity, collaboration, and professionalism - for children, families, and each other. When you join Tigers, you join a warm and progressive team that supports your growth and wellbeing every step of the way.
About the Role: HR Administrator (Recruitment)
This is a key administrative role in a busy HR team, supporting recruitment for our centres nationwide. Reporting to the HR Manager, you'll coordinate end-to-end recruitment administration - from processing applications and managing vetting to ensuring all colleagues meet pre-employment compliance standards.
You'll be working in close collaboration with centre managers, candidates and the Recruitment Coordinator to ensure an efficient and high-quality experience for everyone involved.
Key Responsibilities
* Coordinate recruitment administration for 20+ hires per month, ensuring all processes are efficient and compliant.
* Collect and verify required documentation (CVs, ID, qualifications, Garda Vetting, references, right to work etc.).
* Maintain accurate candidate records and trackers in Tribepad and shared systems.
* Liaise with hiring managers to schedule start dates and progress candidates through the onboarding pipeline.
* Support safeguarding and audit readiness by maintaining up-to-date and complete recruitment files.
* Book training courses for existing colleagues and assist with onboarding and HRIS data input as needed.
What We're Looking For
* 1-2 years' experience in HR, recruitment, or high-volume administration (ideally in a regulated or safeguarding-focused sector).
* Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
* Professional communication and a proactive, solutions-focused attitude.
* Confidence using technology - including email, shared drives, and recruitment/HRIS systems.
* Understanding of confidentiality, GDPR, and safeguarding principles.
* Fluent English (written and spoken).
* Desirable but not essential: experience with Tribepad or Bizimply, and knowledge of childcare sector compliance.
What You'll Get as Part of the Tigers Team
* What the Role Offers You
o A core role in a high-performing HR team where safeguarding, compliance and recruitment quality are central
o Hands-on responsibility for managing high-volume recruitment admin across 27+ early years settings
o Direct impact on candidate experience, onboarding quality and audit readiness
o Exposure to a fast-paced, regulated sector with opportunities to deepen your HR and compliance knowledge
o A team culture that values professionalism, communication, and continuous improvement
* Salary & Benefits
o €30,000 - €35,000 salary, depending on experience and qualifications
o Hybrid working arrangement (following induction)
o 20 days annual leave, increasing with length of service
o Employee Assistance Programme and wellbeing supports
o CPD opportunities and scope for progression in a growing national organisation
o Laptop and mobile phone provided
o Access to a supportive, values-led team and experienced HR leadership
All roles are subject to Garda Vetting and reference checks in line with regulatory requirements and Tigers Childcare's Safeguarding Policy. Tigers Childcare is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
