Job description

We’re hiring a Junior People Advisor to join a fast-paced, people-focused HR team in London. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with experience as an HR Assistant, HR Administrator, HR Coordinator or similar People role who is ready to take the next step in their HR career.

In this role, you’ll provide practical, commercially aware and legally compliant HR support to managers and employees, helping to deliver a smooth and positive employee experience across the full employee lifecycle. You’ll support HR operations, maintain accurate employee records in Workday, process starters, leavers and contract changes, assist with employee relations administration, support recruitment and onboarding activity, help coordinate payroll processes, and respond to day-to-day people queries.

You’ll work closely with the Head of HR, People Advisor and wider People Team, gaining exposure to a broad range of generalist HR activity in a supportive environment where you can build confidence, develop your knowledge and grow your career.

We’re looking for someone organised, proactive and detail-focused, with strong communication skills, sound judgement and the ability to handle confidential information appropriately. A good understanding of UK employment law and HR best practice would be helpful, along with strong Microsoft Office skills. Experience with Workday or another HR system, payroll processes, employee relations casework or a CIPD Level 3 qualification would be a bonus.

The role is hybrid, typically three days per week in the London Victoria office, and offers a strong benefits package, learning opportunities and career development.

If you’re passionate about people, enjoy working at pace and want to develop as a trusted HR generalist, we’d love to hear from you.
