• Support line managers with training recoupment documentation and ensure relevant paperwork is completed and filed correctly.
• Produce regular reports for leadership to support strategic decisions.
• Work closely with the wider HR team on projects and cross-functional admin when required.

About You:

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Confident communicator, able to engage with stakeholders at all levels.
• Comfortable using Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook); experience with training or HR systems is a bonus.
• Proactive and self-motivated, with a keen eye for process improvement.
• Ability to lead and motivate others while managing your own workload.
