Remote Recruitment is hiring a Records Administrator for a UK-based employer, fully remote from South Africa. You will own the integrity of a UK company’s records — correctly filed, correctly named, retained for the right period and findable in seconds.

-   Maintain logs, registers and audit trails
-   Support data clean-up and migration projects

**What you'll need**

-   Experience in a records, document control or administrative role
-   Comfortable with Microsoft 365, SharePoint or Google Workspace
-   Methodical, accurate and consistent with naming and filing
-   Strong written and spoken English
-   A reliable fibre connection, a working laptop and a quiet place to work

**Nice to have**

-   Familiarity with a document management system
-   Exposure to data protection or retention policy
-   Experience supporting an audit

**What's on offer**

-   100% remote — work from anywhere in South Africa
-   Working hours of 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST), Monday to Friday
-   Long-term placement with a stable UK employer
-   Ongoing support from the Remote Recruitment team throughout your placement
