This is a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable experience in a fast-paced HR department, where your main focus will be on recruitment, but you will certainly be exposed to many aspects of a generalist HR role.

The Job Role:

1. Acting as the first point of contact for visitors to the HR department, directing queries as appropriate to the relevant team member and effectively troubleshooting where possible.
2. Manage the recruitment of temporary workers liaising with agencies and hiring managers, organising pre-employment appointments and new starter paperwork.
3. Maintaining accurate employee records and HR databases, requiring advanced Excel skills and good general IT experience.
4. Responding to employee queries regarding HR policies and procedures.
5. Coordinate the processes in relation to sickness absence, family leave requests and ensure that associated payroll processes are completed.

We are seeking an individual who:

1. Is a superb administrator, loves working on databases, and has experience within recruitment or recruiting within a wider HR role.
2. Is keen to build a career within a busy HR department, and enjoys completing confidential and time-critical administration.
3. CIPD Level 3 or equivalent relevant experience would be ideal in this busy HR team environment.

Working Hours:
Mon - Fri 8-4

Associated Benefits:
A range of benefits including excellent pension scheme, life assurance and 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
