• Coordinate and support employee relations matters, including disciplinary, grievance, and absence management processes.
• Liaise with external providers such as recruitment agencies, training partners, occupational health services, and uniform suppliers.
• Ensure a safe working environment by supporting the application of relevant health, safety, and environmental standards.
• Maintain and update HR systems and internal databases, including personnel and training records.
• Organise and attend probation reviews and welfare meetings.
• Assist in preparing for internal and external audits.
• Support internal communications and staff engagement initiatives.
• Manage workwear orders and distribution, ensuring accurate record-keeping and budget control.
• Raise purchase orders and coordinate with suppliers as needed.

Skills and Experience

• Solid understanding of UK employment law and HR best practices.
• Experience using HRIS systems.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to manage sensitive information confidentially and professionally.
• Confident communicator with the ability to work independently and build strong relationships across all levels of the business.
• Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and Outlook.
