Job description

HR Administrator

Doncaster | £30,000–£33,000 | Hybrid Working | Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Are you looking to build on your HR experience and take your career further with a business that genuinely invests in its people?

Whether you're early in your HR career, have gained broad, hands-on experience working in an SME, or are looking for your next opportunity within a larger organisation, this could be just the move you're looking for.

I'm recruiting an HR Administrator for a highly successful, growing and well-established business in Doncaster, renowned for developing its people, recognising potential and providing opportunities for long-term career progression.

You’ll be joining an experienced and supportive HR team, with plenty of opportunity to broaden your knowledge, develop new skills and make a real contribution.

Why consider this opportunity?

• The business: A successful, growing and highly respected organisation with an excellent reputation for investing in its people and developing careers.
• The team: An established, knowledgeable and supportive HR function, where people work together, share expertise and genuinely value teamwork.
• The variety: Exposure to recruitment, onboarding, HR systems, payroll, reward, employee queries and wider HR projects.
• The development: Excellent learning opportunities, professional study support and the potential to progress into a more senior or team leadership role in the future.

What's in it for you?

• Salary of £30,000–£33,000
• Annual bonus opportunity
• Hybrid/agile working
• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
• Option to purchase up to five additional days' holiday
• Professional development and study support
• Employee discounts and additional benefits
• Volunteering opportunities
• A stable, experienced and supportive HR team
• Excellent long-term career opportunities

What will you be doing?

As an HR Administrator, you’ll play an important part in providing a professional, efficient and consistent HR service to employees and managers across the business.

Working alongside colleagues in Talent Acquisition, Payroll, Reward and the wider HR function, your responsibilities will include:

• Recruitment and onboarding: Preparing offer letters, employment contracts and new-starter documentation, ensuring the onboarding process runs smoothly.
• Compliance: Coordinating right to work checks and relevant pre-employment screening, ensuring all documentation is accurate and compliant.
• HR systems: Maintaining employee records, processing changes and keeping HR information systems accurate and up to date.
• Payroll support: Liaising with the payroll team regarding new starters, leavers and employee changes, working to monthly deadlines.
• Employee support: Managing shared HR inboxes and responding to queries relating to pay, benefits, leave, policies and procedures.
• Reporting: Producing regular HR reports, checking data accuracy and maintaining documentation for audit purposes.
• Projects and improvements: Supporting HR initiatives, system developments and improvements to internal processes.

There may also be opportunities to become involved in wider generalist HR and employee relations activities as the role develops.

Who are we looking for?

The ideal HR Administrator will have a positive, proactive approach, a strong work ethic and, above all, genuinely enjoy being part of a team.

This is a busy, fast-paced environment where priorities can change, so we’re looking for someone who:

• Is a genuine team player – enjoys supporting colleagues, sharing responsibilities and working towards common goals.
• Takes ownership – uses initiative, follows things through and takes pride in doing a good job.
• Is organised and adaptable – comfortable managing competing priorities, meeting deadlines and adjusting when plans change.
• Has excellent attention to detail – understands the importance of accuracy, particularly with employee records, contracts and confidential information.
• Builds strong relationships – approachable, professional and confident communicating with colleagues and managers at all levels.
• Is happy to get stuck in – appreciates that everyday administration is just as important as the more complex aspects of HR.

Ideally, you’ll have at least 12 months' practical HR administration experience, although we’re interested in hearing from candidates with different backgrounds.

Perhaps you’re a graduate with some HR experience, an established HR Administrator or HR Coordinator, or an HR generalist from an SME who would welcome the support and development opportunities of a larger organisation.

Equally, you may already work within a larger HR function and be looking for greater variety and the opportunity to progress.

Experience of HRIS or payroll systems would be advantageous, as would a CIPD qualification or working towards one.

Interested?

If you’re looking for a business where you can develop your career, work alongside good people and make a genuine contribution, I’d love to hear from you.
