Full-time, permanent
Are you looking to build a long-term career in HR with a business that genuinely invests in development?
We’re partnering with a well-established, fast-moving organisation to find a proactive and detail-driven HR Assistant to join their growing team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their HR journey who wants hands-on experience, exposure to advisory work, and the chance to develop within a supportive and structured environment.
What you’ll be doing
This is a varied and busy role where no two days are the same. You’ll play a key part in keeping the HR function running smoothly while gaining exposure across the full employee lifecycle:
- Managing HR records, trackers, and documentation to ensure accuracy and compliance
- Supporting onboarding and offboarding processes, from contracts to exit admin
- Acting as a first point of contact for HR queries via phone and email
- Assisting with right-to-work checks and audit processes
- Preparing letters, documentation, and supporting employee relations casework
- Liaising with payroll on key employee data and updates
- Supporting HR projects and continuous improvement initiatives
You’ll work closely with experienced HR professionals, giving you real insight into advisory-level work and a clear pathway for progression.
What we’re looking for
- Previous experience in an HR or administrative role
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
- Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment
- Confident communication skills and a professional approach
- High level of discretion with confidential information
- Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office (especially Excel & Word)
Bonus points for:
- CIPD Level 3 (or working towards it)
- Experience in a fast-paced or multi-site business
- Basic understanding of UK employment law
Why apply?
This role offers more than just admin — it’s a genuine stepping stone into a long-term HR career. You’ll gain exposure, responsibility, and the support needed to grow into an advisory position over time.
If you’re organised, ambitious, and ready to take the next step in HR, we’d love to hear from you.
