This is a hands-on, varied role where you'll work closely with the wider People team and support managers across the business. You’ll be involved in day-to-day HR operations, people processes, and projects that shape our culture and support our team.

• Maintaining accurate people data, updating the HR system, and supporting with reporting and insights
• Helping to roll out HR policies and ensuring we’re up to date with employment law
• Assisting with people-related projects such as new frameworks, role changes, or policy updates
• Managing regular HR operations such as payroll changes, benefits, and office support
• Supporting culture and wellbeing initiatives - from team socials to celebrating milestones
• Coordinating travel and office logistics when needed

What we’re looking for:

• Previous experience in an HR support role (e.g. HR Assistant, Coordinator, or HR Administrator), ideally in a fast-paced environment like recruitment, sales, or consultancy
• Good understanding of HR processes and UK employment law basics
• Confident communicator, comfortable supporting managers and working with different teams
• Highly organised and detail-focused – able to manage multiple tasks and stay on top of deadlines
• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn
• CIPD Level 3 or 5, or working towards it
• Confident using HR systems and Microsoft Office
