What You’ll Be Doing:

• Managing end-to-end HR admin across the employee lifecycle (contracts, offer letters, pay changes, and more)
• Ensuring compliance with HR policies and legal frameworks (e.g. right-to-work, immigration, apprenticeships)
• Maintaining up-to-date and secure employee records (digital and paper)
• Assisting with transactional HR tasks and reporting on key HR data
• Supporting continuous improvement by working closely with the wider HR team
• Providing general administrative support where needed

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven HR administration experience in a fast-paced environment
• Strong understanding of HR compliance (especially immigration and right-to-work checks)
• Highly organised, with great time management and attention to detail
• Comfortable working with data and generating reports
• Clear and professional communicator, both written and verbal
• A team player with a friendly, self-motivated approach

 Why Apply?

• Be part of a collaborative and supportive HR team
• Play a key role in shaping more efficient and proactive HR practices
• Office-based role with opportunities to take ownership and develop your skills
