You’ll be joining a supportive team where you’ll play an important role in keeping the day-to-day HR administration running smoothly and helping to provide a great experience for employees.

What will you be doing?

Supporting with general HR administration and maintaining accurate employee records

Processing new starters, leavers and internal employee changes

Coordinating paperwork and ensuring information is completed accurately

Carrying out and maintaining right to work checks

Confident written and verbal communication skills

Good knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Word, Excel and Outlook

The ability to handle confidential information professionally

A proactive approach and willingness to learn
