You'll also be instrumental in maintaining and improving the HR systems and data that underpin our people processes.

• Coordinating training, meetings and people initiatives.
• Providing responsive, customer-focused support to managers and colleagues.
• Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes and ways of working.
• Supporting the ongoing development and effective use of HR systems across the organisation.

No two days are the same, so you'll need to be comfortable managing a varied workload, balancing competing priorities and working confidently with systems and data.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has experience in an HR, people administration or busy administrative environment.
• Has experience using HR systems and maintaining employee data accurately.

• Organises and prioritises work effectively.
• Enjoys building positive working relationships.
• Is committed to providing excellent customer service.
