• Assist with the preparation of monthly payroll information.
• Act as a trusted first point of contact for employee queries, providing guidance or escalation where needed.
• Contribute to HR and people projects that drive engagement, development, and continuous improvement.

About You

• Previous experience in a busy HR or people‑focused administrative role (HR Administrator / HR Coordinator / People Advisor level).
• Exceptional attention to detail and strong organisational skills, able to manage multiple priorities.
• A high level of discretion and professionalism – you'll be privy to highly confidential information.
• Confident communicator, able to build positive relationships at all levels.
• Strong IT skills, particularly in Microsoft Office and HR systems.
• Proactive, curious, and keen to develop your HR knowledge and career.
• A team player with a flexible and supportive approach.
