Who we're looking for:

Our people are united by a common belief: that we can outperform in everything we do.

We are currently seeking a HR assistant who will play a key role in delivering a high level of service to the business, ensuring timely responses to a wide range of queries and escalating complex cases to appropriate HR colleagues. This role provides administrative and reporting support to enable the wider HR service and contributes to both transactional and transformational HR activities and projects. As HR assistant you will manage the full employee lifecycle, including onboarding, contract administration, probation and offboarding processes.

The role also entails working closely with the Payroll & Benefits Manager, taking ownership of benefits-related queries, investigating and resolving payroll issues. As HR assistant you will develop a strong understanding of the payroll process andassist with payroll validations and checks.

What do I need to be successful in this role?

We are looking for someone with the capacity to multitask, recognise when tasks are urgent and maintain a high level of accuracy, particularly when working with data. The ability to collaborate effectively within a team and engage confidently with multiple stakeholders is essential. There will be some independent work and the role would therefore suit someone who is self-motivated and takes initiative. A high level of integrity and credibility is expected in all business interactions, especially when handling confidential information.

While prior HR experience is not essential for this role, we are looking for someone with an interest in building a career in HR and the aptitude to support HR operations effectively. It would be advantageous if you have completed, are currently pursuing, or are interested in undertaking a HR qualification.

Diversity is about celebrating the ways we are all different and appreciating the unique qualities that every employee brings. We invite applications from people of all genders, cultures and walks of life. Research shows that women and people from underrepresented groups are less like to apply for roles if they don't meet every qualification. So even if you don't match all the criteria - if you are passionate about helping to construct a better future, we'd love to hear from you.

We are committed to providing a barrier-free work environment and can support with reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process. Simply inform our Talent Acquisition team during your conversation with them.
