Job description

Why join Arval?

In addition to the benefits and opportunities that come with being part of a progressive global banking group, we have a supportive and collaborative culture where wellbeing and work-life balance are taken seriously. Which is why we recently won the Wellbeing category of the 2024 Business Car Awards.

About The Role

Are you ready to bring energy, precision, and people-focus to a fast-paced HR environment? As our HR Coordinator, you’ll play a key role in supporting all things HR — from payroll and onboarding to systems management and employee support.

This role is at the heart of our HR Services team, where we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional customer experience. You’ll help keep our HR operations running smoothly, champion great service, and find smarter ways to work as we grow and evolve.

You’ll be the first point of contact for HR queries via our shared inbox — allocating emails, monitoring responses, and making sure every message is followed up with action and care. Working closely with our HR Administrator, you’ll also manage key administration processes across the entire employee lifecycle, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance every step of the way.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Taking ownership of the internal payroll process, coordinating deadlines and data with precision.
• Preparing high-quality HR documentation such as contracts, letters, and variations.
• Building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Managing the HR inbox, responding to queries within agreed SLAs.
• Acting as a trusted first point of contact for people-related queries.
• Identifying and driving process improvements within our HR systems.
• Supporting the HR Advisor with ongoing employee relations cases.
• Supporting wider team with ongoing HR projects

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone with solid HR administration experience, an eagle eye for detail, and a real passion for getting things right. You’ll be comfortable working with sensitive information, managing repetitive tasks with care, and staying calm and organised when the pace picks up. You’ll thrive in a team that values initiative, collaboration, and continuous improvement — and you’ll play a big part in helping us deliver brilliant service to every employee.

You’ll Bring

• A proactive, can‑do attitude — equally confident working independently and as part of a team.
• Integrity and discretion when handling confidential information.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent IT skills, particularly Microsoft Office.
• Preferred CIPD Level 3 qualification (or working towards it).

If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real impact, grow your HR expertise, and be part of a supportive, high‑energy team — we’d love to hear from you!

The package

We offer a basic starting salary of up to £29,000, plus a bonus of up to £1,1,00. We also offer 25 days holiday as standard, plus bank holidays, an extra day off for your birthday, and the option to purchase an additional 5 days.

We Also Provide a Comprehensive Benefits Package, Including

• Private medical cover, including a digital GP service
• Company pension with up to 10% employer contribution
• Discounts on our products and services and discounts in many high street brands
• 2 paid volunteering days every year
• Free on‑site gym
• Subsidised restaurant serving chef‑prepared breakfast and lunch, plus discounted Costa Coffee
• Plus, a range of flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle
