• Monitoring the People/HR inbox and responding to first-line queries
• Providing guidance to managers on established HR policies and processes
• Identifying opportunities to improve or automate administrative processes
• Supporting the wider People team with general HR administration

What we're looking for

You'll ideally have previous experience as an HR Administrator, People Administrator or HR Coordinator, with confidence managing high volumes of employee changes and documentation.

You'll also bring:

• Good understanding of the employee lifecycle and core HR processes
• Previous experience using an HR system
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities
• Confidence communicating with managers and employees
• Good Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel
• Ability to handle confidential information appropriately
