You'll be involved across the whole employee journey -from the moment someone applies, through their first days on the job, right up to handling more sensitive HR matters and supporting broader people initiatives. You'll work hand-in-hand with line managers and staff throughout the business to keep HR processes running smoothly, staying compliant and people-first at every step.

The role of HR Administrator will involve:

• Helping run recruitment activity and making sure candidates have a smooth, positive journey from application to job offer

• Providing admin support during disciplinary meetings, grievance hearings and investigations, including note-taking and filing
• Helping refine and improve HR policies and workflows over time
• Getting involved in broader HR team projects as they come up
• Making sure everything you do stays aligned with UK employment law and internal policy
• Acting as a helpful, reliable point of contact for managers and staff with HR queries

You're a personable, well-organised HR professional who takes real pride in doing things properly and building good working relationships.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Some background in an HR admin, coordinator or generalist capacity
• CIPD qualification (or working towards one)
• A solid grasp of HR practices and UK employment law
• Great people skills - you communicate clearly and build trust easily
• A methodical, well-structured way of working
• Sharp attention to detail and strong admin capability
• Comfort juggling several priorities while hitting deadlines
• Good judgement and a practical approach to solving problems
• A track record of handling confidential information responsibly
