• Supporting the payroll and benefits team with accurate knowledge transfer and record keeping
• Supporting the HR advisors with ER case administration, including letters and notetaking
• Processing incoming TUPE transfers and relevant administration
• Updating policies and procedures in line with employment legislation

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU

• Relevant experience in a similar HR support role, familiar with providing guidance on HR processes and procedures.
• Previous HRIS experience essential, as you will need to update and maintain employee records. Experience building workflows and running reports a distinct advantage.
• Understanding of GDPR and data protection requirements, as well as confidentiality when processing sensitive information.
• A proactive and hands-on work ethic and ability to multi-task.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Solution-first attitude and willingness to learn.
