Some HR admin jobs are all filing, forms, and following up.

This one s that plus a bit of everything else that makes a site tick.

It s a busy, people-focused role in a fast-paced food manufacturing environment where no two days look the same, and where being organised, approachable, and proactive matters more than ticking every qualification box.

• Taking notes in ER meetings and keeping records accurate and up to date.
• Helping with internal comms newsletters, notices, and updates.
• Supporting engagement initiatives and day-to-day site activity.
• Keeping systems, files, and processes neat, tidy, and compliant.

What you ll need:

• HR admin or general office admin experience (manufacturing would be a bonus).
• Great organisation skills the type who likes things done properly.
• Confidence dealing with people at all levels, face to face and over email.
• Ideally CIPD Level 3 or working towards it (but attitude counts more).
• The ability to juggle priorities without losing your cool.

What s in it for you:

• £27,000 salary
• A genuinely varied role in a business that values its people
• Support to develop your HR career including professional qualifications
• A friendly, down-to-earth team where you ll be trusted to get things done
