Job description

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and are committed to increasing diversity, particularly encouraging candidates from underrepresented groups to apply.

If you’re not sure a role is right for you or feel there may be any perceived barriers to applying, please get in touch, we’d love to have a conversation with you.

Are you the person who keeps track of everything, spots what's missing and makes sure things get done?

Whether its supporting managers, keeping processes moving, or ensuring important actions don't get overlooked, the work you do behind the scenes helps our frontline colleagues change lives.

Connection Support believes in a future where people are free from crisis and able to live independently. The People Services team plays an important role in supporting the people who make that possible.

Does this sound like something you want to be a part of?

We are currently recruiting a People Services Coordinator to join our People Services team.

About the role

If you're the person who naturally notices what's missing, follows things through, and enjoys bringing order to busy situations, we'd love to hear from you.

As part of our People Services team, you'll help keep our people processes running smoothly across the employee lifecycle. From recruitment and onboarding to probation reviews and employee changes, you'll play a key role in ensuring managers and employees receive a professional, organised, and responsive service.

The Impact You Will Have

As a People Services Coordinator, you'll play a key role in keeping our people processes running smoothly. Working across the employee lifecycle, you'll support recruitment, onboarding, employee changes, and day-to-day People Services administration, helping ensure managers and employees receive a professional and responsive service.

Key responsibilities include:

• Responding to People Services queries.
• Coordinating recruitment and onboarding activities.
• Maintaining accurate records and documentation.
• Tracking actions, deadlines, and key dates.
• Supporting managers with routine people processes.
• Helping improve systems and administrative processes.

Contract Details

Contract: Permanent

Hours: Part-time, 15 hours per week across 2-3 days

Location: Hybrid working. You'll primarily work from home, with attendance at one of our offices as needed. Regular travel may be required across our offices in Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire for team meetings, training and other business needs.

Salary: £10,967.20 - 11,416.40 per annum

( FTE 37.5 hours £27,418 - £27,701 per annum)

Closing Date: Thursday 12th November

As part of our recruitment process, we invite selected candidates to a short introductory call. We believe this helps candidates better understand the role, ask questions and feel more prepared if invited to interview.

About You

We're looking for someone who is highly organised, proactive, and enjoys helping things run smoothly. You'll be confident managing competing priorities, building positive relationships, and maintaining high standards of accuracy and professionalism.

HR experience would be an advantage, but it's not essential. We're equally interested in candidates from other backgrounds who can demonstrate excellent administrative skills, strong judgement, and the ability to follow things through to completion.

You’ll bring:

• Excellent organisational and administrative skills.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and follow tasks through to completion.
• Confidence using systems and technology.
• Good judgement and the ability to identify when issues need escalating.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive approach and willingness to take ownership.

If you're a first-rate administrator who enjoys bringing structure to busy situations, we'd love to hear from you.

What We Offer in Return

• 30 days' annual leave (pro rata) plus bank holidays.
• Occupational sick pay.
