About the role

As part of the HR team, you will play an important role in ensuring that new starters experience a smooth and welcoming introduction to the organisation. You will support pre employment checks, prepare contracts and onboarding documentation, and help maintain high standards of compliance and accuracy throughout the process. You will also be responsible for keeping employee records up to date, processing changes throughout the employee lifecycle, and ensuring our HR systems contain accurate and reliable information.

The role also involves ensuring that contractual and personal changes are captured ahead of deadlines to provide payroll with accurate information, supporting the administration of employee benefits, and responding to general HR enquiries with clarity, professionalism and a strong customer service approach. You will work closely with colleagues across HR, Recruitment, Payroll and operational teams, helping to ensure that HR processes run smoothly and consistently.

We are looking for someone with a good standard of education, experience in HR administration and confidence using HR systems and digital tools. You should be highly organised, accurate in your work and comfortable managing competing priorities. Strong communication skills, a calm and professional manner, and the ability to handle sensitive information with discretion are essential. A knowledge of recruitment practices or regulatory compliance within education or care settings would be an advantage but not essential.

If you are enthusiastic, adaptable and committed to delivering a high quality HR service, we would be delighted to hear from you.
