Job description

Overview

HR Assistant – People Person Wanted!

Edinburgh | Hybrid working | £13.70 p/h - £15.15 per hour DOE

We’re on the hunt for an organised, people-loving HR Assistant to join our client’s busy HR team. If you’re the kind of person who can keep the plates spinning, answer questions with a smile, and spot a typo from ten miles away, this could be your next move.

What you’ll be doing

• Be the first friendly face (or voice) for all things HR - from “How do I book annual leave?” to “When will my contract arrive?”
• Support the full employee lifecycle - from recruitment and onboarding to contract changes and farewells.
• Keep the HR system in top shape, making sure data is accurate and up to date.
• Help managers navigate sickness absence, holidays, and other day-to-day HR queries.

About you

• You’re organised, detail-driven, and great at juggling multiple priorities.
• You have top-notch admin skills and are confident with Microsoft Office.
• You’re comfortable dealing with confidential information and can handle sensitive situations with care.

Why you’ll love it

• A friendly, supportive HR team that treats each other like grown-ups.
• A varied role where you’ll learn loads and no two days are identical.
• The chance to be part of a team making a real difference in the community.

If you’ve got the organisational skills, the people skills, and the drive to get things done, we’d love to hear from you.
