Are you an experienced HR Officer looking for a part‑time role where you can still have real impact and ownership?

We're looking for a Part‑Time HR Officer to join a friendly, supportive HR team in Leicester on a job‑share basis. This is a hands‑on HR Officer role covering day‑to‑day HR administration, employee lifecycle and first‑line HR support to managers and staff.

This opportunity would suit an HR Officer or HR Administrator who enjoys being a trusted point of contact, wants variety in their day, and is looking for a permanent, part‑time position (Wednesday to Friday).

As HR Officer, you will:

• Prepare and maintain HR documentation, including contracts, offer letters, and HR correspondence.


• Support the end‑to‑end recruitment process – posting adverts, arranging interviews, issuing offer paperwork, and updating records.


• Carry out new‑starter inductions and ensure personnel files and HR systems are accurate and up to date.


• Provide day‑to‑day HR administration support to Directors and managers – absence management, basic payroll queries and employee relations paperwork.


• Liaise with external HR advisers/consultants to ensure all HR activity is legally compliant.


• Attend and support disciplinary and grievance meetings (note‑taking and admin support).


• Monitor and update HR records such as sickness, absence, maternity/paternity, probation, and pensions.


• Assist with HR reporting and ad hoc HR projects, supporting continuous improvement in the HR function.

We're looking for a HR Officer who can bring:

• Previous experience as an HR Officer, HR Coordinator, HR Administrator or similar HR role.


• Strong organisation and administrative skills, with excellent attention to detail.


• Confident communication skills – able to deal professionally with confidential and sensitive HR issues.


• Good IT skills – competent with Microsoft Office and comfortable using HR / people systems.


• Practical understanding of HR processes across recruitment, onboarding, absence, HR documentation, and basic ER.

A CIPD qualification is not essential – we're more interested in solid, hands‑on HR Officer / HR admin experience.

• Competitive pro‑rata salary – £19,872.


• 21 hours per week, Wednesday to Friday – ideal for work‑life balance.


• Permanent, part‑time HR Officer position with long‑term stability.


• 28 days holiday (pro‑rata, including bank holidays), increasing with service.


• Three additional customary days at Christmas.


• Friendly, supportive working environment with a close‑knit team.


• Free on‑site parking.


• Staff discount scheme and other benefits.
