This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives on structure, takes pride in precision, and enjoys delivering work to a high standard - every time.

The main focus of this role will be to lead a short-term project around reference requests and background checks, alongside wider HR administrative processing. You’ll play a key role in ensuring our HR data and processes remain compliant, confidential, and efficiently managed.

We invest in our people - and for the right person, this fixed-term role could become a permanent opportunity within our growing business.

What You’ll Do

• Process and follow up on reference requests and employment checks in a structured, compliant, and confidential way.
• Support with HR documentation, including contracts, onboarding paperwork, and employee changes.
• Maintain accurate and secure digital personnel records.
• Ensure all information is processed promptly, with exceptional accuracy.
• Assist with reporting, compliance, and general HR administration as required to support the team’s success.

About You

• Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple tasks to tight deadlines.
• Detail-oriented, with a focus on accuracy and compliance.
