Make a Real Impact Behind the Scenes of National Defence
Are you an organised, people-focused professional with a sharp eye for detail and a desire to support those who serve our country?
This is more than just an admin job — as a Military HR Coordinator, you’ll play a key role in supporting UK Armed Forces personnel with their pay, allowances, and HR needs. Based at the scenic Defence Academy in Shrivenham, you'll be part of a tight-knit team working side-by-side with military colleagues to ensure the smooth running of vital HR processes that keep our military world-class.
What You’ll Be Doing
No two days are the same, but your core responsibilities will include:
- Providing accurate, confidential HR and pay-related administrative support to military personnel
- Ensuring payroll and allowances are correctly processed and in line with MOD regulations
- Responding to pay and expense queries with professionalism and clarity
- Working across multiple systems and platforms to manage and maintain critical data
You’ll be given full training and ongoing mentorship, so while experience helps, the right attitude and aptitude are just as important.
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for someone who is:
- A confident communicator (face-to-face, written and verbal)
- Highly organised and methodical, with great time management
- Known for delivering exceptional customer service
- A team player who can also work independently when needed
- Comfortable using Microsoft Office (especially Outlook, Excel and Word)
- Able to learn new systems and processes quickly
You’ll need:
- GCSEs (A–C) in English and Maths (or equivalent)
- The ability to pass a Security Check (SC) within 3 months (we’ll help with this)
A Unique Place to Work
Set in stunning grounds with lakes, woodlands and historic buildings, the Defence Academy is unlike any ordinary workplace. You’ll be working on a secure site that trains the future leaders of the UK Armed Forces and international militaries.
You’ll also enjoy:
- 1 day per week working from home (once trained)
- Free secure parking
- Uniform provided
- Subsidised sports & social clubs
- Two fully equipped gyms – just £3/month
- Riding stables with lesson opportunities
- Tennis courts, AstroTurf pitches & more
Why Join Serco?
We’re a team that cares. At Serco, you’ll be part of a company that:
- Does meaningful work that supports national security and global defence
- Offers real career development in a broad and growing organisation
- Values inclusion, integrity and the power of good people working together
Benefits include:
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with option to buy more)
- Access to Serco discounts (cinemas, tech, retail & more)
- Cycle-to-work scheme, mobile savings, and gym discounts
- Supportive environment with a focus on your growth and wellbeing
