HR Assistant
Location: Preston Brook or Coventry | Hybrid working – 3 days in the office
Love a bit of variety? Brilliant at keeping things organised? Enjoy being the person who makes things happen behind the scenes?
We might just have the role for you!
We're looking for an enthusiastic, organised and switched-on HR Assistant to join our brilliant team. This isn't a role where you'll be doing the same thing day in, day out. Far from it!
You'll be right in the middle of things, supporting the full employee lifecycle, helping us find great people, keeping our HR processes running smoothly and even getting involved in some of our ESG activities.
In short, you'll be our go-to person for making sure the HR wheels keep turning – and that everything happens when, where and how it should.
So, what will you be getting up to?
A bit of everything, which is exactly what makes this role interesting!
- HR Administration: Supporting all aspects of the employee lifecycle, from new starters and onboarding through to leavers, maintaining employee records, preparing documentation and keeping HR systems and files up to date.
- Recruitment: Helping bring great people into the business. You'll support the recruitment process from advertising vacancies and arranging interviews to communicating with candidates and helping make sure everything runs like clockwork.
- Employee Support: Being a friendly and approachable first point of contact for everyday HR queries, providing helpful and timely support to colleagues and managers.
- ESG Support: Getting involved in some of our Environmental, Social and Governance activities, helping with coordination, administration and keeping things moving.
- Keeping us organised: Supporting HR projects, producing reports, updating spreadsheets and spotting where things could be done a little better.
No two days will be quite the same, and you'll have the opportunity to get involved in a broad range of HR activities and develop your experience along the way.
What are we looking for?
We're not necessarily looking for someone who knows every HR process inside out. We're looking for someone with the right attitude, a great eye for detail and the ability to make things happen.
You'll ideally bring:
- Strong administration and organisational skills – you love a list, a plan and knowing where everything is!
- Excellent attention to detail and pride in getting things right.
- Good IT skills, particularly Microsoft Office. Excel is important, so you'll need to be comfortable working with spreadsheets, data and reports.
- The ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping the ball.
- A proactive approach – you don't always wait to be asked and are happy to use your initiative.
- Great communication skills and the confidence to deal with people at all levels.
- A flexible, can-do attitude and the ability to adapt when priorities change.
- A friendly, approachable manner and a genuine interest in people.
Previous HR administration or recruitment experience would be great, but just as important is your enthusiasm, willingness to learn and desire to be part of a busy, supportive team.
Why join us?
Because work should be about more than just ticking things off a to-do list.
You'll be joining a great team where people support each other, share ideas and get stuck in. You'll have exposure to lots of different areas of HR, the chance to build your knowledge and the opportunity to make a real contribution.
We're looking for someone who enjoys being busy, likes a challenge, takes pride in doing a great job and brings a bit of personality to the team.
The practical bits:
- Based at either our Preston Brook or Coventry office.
- Hybrid working, with three days per week in the office.
- A varied HR role with exposure to HR administration, recruitment and ESG.
