Job description

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Junior HR Advisor to join our supportive and fast-paced HR Operations team.

This is a hybrid role working from our Group Support office 1-2 days per week with the ability to work from home for the remainder.

In this varied and rewarding role, you’ll be at the heart of our HR service delivery—managing and supporting key processes such as payroll and contractual changes, family-friendly leave, references, right to work checks, criminal record checks, professional memberships, benefits administration, and skilled worker sponsorship.

You’ll also ensure we stay compliant with statutory bodies and regulations, employment law, and Home Office requirements, while keeping our HR administration accurate and timely.

As the first point of contact for staff and managers, you’ll handle incoming queries with professionalism and care—offering initial advice or directing them to the right support.

This is a brilliant opportunity to be part of a growing organisation where your contribution will help shape and strengthen our HR practices.

What We’re Looking For

• Organised and detail-oriented, with strong administrative skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Confident using Microsoft Outlook, Word and Excel.
• Self-motivated, able to work independently and meet deadlines.
• A great communicator, capable of building trusted relationships with colleagues and stakeholders at all levels.

Previous experience in an HR environment or the care sector would be a bonus, and familiarity with regulatory compliance and right to work checks is desirable—but not essential. We’re more interested in your potential and your passion for delivering excellent HR support.
