With over four decades of expertise, we specialise in developing and providing innovative products and services that support the healthcare industry, including lifting and transfer equipment, medical beds, and a wide range of care solutions.

Our commitment to excellence is driven by a passion for improving the everyday lives of patients and caregivers alike, ensuring safety, comfort, and dignity for those we serve. As a trusted partner in healthcare, Winncare continues to lead with innovation, compassion, and a relentless pursuit of quality.

This is an exciting time for Winncare as we experience organisational growth and new opportunities to join our highly skilled, professional, and committed team in a great working environment.

A unique opportunity has arisen for an individual to join the Company as a HR Administrator.

This opportunity is suitable for someone wishing to start a career in Human Resources. The successful applicant will be supported in studies via an apprenticeship, developing skills in generalist HR areas, with coaching and mentoring provided by the Human Resources Manager in topics such as employment relations, HR practices, and procedures.

The successful candidate can aim to achieve the CIPD Foundation Certificate in People Practice.

Reporting to and supported by the HR Manager, the HR Administrator will undertake duties such as employee onboarding, preparing for new joiners, maintaining employee records, supporting fleet administration, and assisting with training planning and record keeping.

Due to the sensitive nature of the data managed, the successful applicant must act with absolute integrity and confidentiality, setting an example for others.

Key duties include:

1. Creating Contracts of Employment and related documentation for new joiners.
2. Entering and maintaining employee and employment data on the company system.
3. Supporting recruitment activities, including advertising and arranging interviews.
4. Liaising with departments such as Finance and IT for new joiner preparations.
5. Fleet administration, including maintaining vehicle lists and discussing fleet status weekly with the HRM.
6. Administering absence trackers and recording approved leave, highlighting concerns to HRM.
7. Reviewing sickness absence and working with HRM to identify hot spots.
8. Acting as note-taker in grievance and disciplinary meetings.
9. Supporting training administration, including coordinating with department heads and maintaining training records.

This training role will be closely overseen by the HR Manager, with full support provided. As you develop your skills, you will undertake duties independently once competent.

Applicants should be self-motivated, proactive, with excellent communication and attention to detail. Demonstrating awareness of HR functions, integrity, confidentiality, and discretion is essential.

We seek candidates aspiring to develop a career in HR, willing to learn and grow within the HR environment. Good IT skills, especially in office applications, flexibility, adaptability, and excellent timekeeping are required. A UK driving license and previous experience in a similar role are preferred but not essential. Experience in HR is desirable but not mandatory.

This is a fantastic opportunity to start a career in Human Resources, gain valuable experience, and join a dedicated team in a rewarding environment. If you possess the skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm for this role, please apply.
