Job Description:

We're working exclusively with a well-established local employer to recruit a HR & Health & Safety Coordinator, supporting both employee experience and workplace safety.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong background in either HR or Health & Safety. The successful candidate will receive training and support to develop in the other area, making it an excellent role for someone looking to broaden their skill set in a supportive environment.

HR responsibilities:

• Support the full employee lifecycle: onboarding, leavers, contracts, changes
• Maintain HR systems and records, ensuring GDPR compliance
• Assist with recruitment, interviews, and onboarding paperwork
• Coordinate employee training and wellbeing initiatives
• Support formal meetings, take minutes, and draft employee communications

Health & Safety responsibilities:

• Maintain risk assessments, audits, and H&S documentation
• Coordinate safety training, toolbox talks, and inductions
• Monitor and log incidents and near misses; support investigations
• Work with consultants to ensure compliance and safe practices
• Keep accurate records for employees and subcontractors

As you grow into the role, you'll gain experience across both areas, becoming a key support to the HR Manager in ensuring compliant, efficient, and people-focused practices throughout the business.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience in either HR or Health & Safety
• Willingness and capability to learn the other discipline
• Strong administrative and organisational skills
• High attention to detail and a proactive attitude
• Good communication skills and confidence working with people at all levels
• Familiarity with MS Office; experience with HRIS or H&S systems is a bonus
• Full UK driving licence (occasional travel between sites)

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Wants to build a well-rounded career in HR and Health & Safety
• Brings solid foundations in one area and is eager to learn the other
• Enjoys variety, responsibility, and being part of a supportive, collaborative team
• Is looking for a long-term opportunity with career development

Ready to step into a dual-discipline role?

This is a rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience across both HR and H&S functions with structured support and real potential for progression.
