Hris systems specialist

HRIS Systems Specialist / Product Resource


📍 Hybrid | South East / Midlands Preferred | 12-Month FTC | £50,000

Are you the kind of person who loves bringing structure to chaos, transforming outdated processes into modern systems, and genuinely seeing the impact of your work across a business?


This is not a “keep the lights on” HR systems role.


This is a chance to help build an entire HR technology landscape from the ground up.

An exciting, fast-growing healthcare organisation is embarking on a major digital transformation and is looking for an experienced HRIS Systems Specialist to support the implementation of MHR People First across a multi-site UK business.


You’ll join at a pivotal point in the programme - moving from heavily manual, spreadsheet-driven processes into a modern, cloud-based HR ecosystem covering:

* Core HR
* Payroll
* Workforce Management
* Talent & Learning
* Employee Self-Service
* Performance & Reporting


This is a genuinely high-impact role where your work will directly improve operational efficiency, workforce visibility, employee experience, and data accuracy across 80+ locations and 2,000+ workers.


🚀 What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders, HR leadership, clinic managers, and implementation partners to help drive the programme through design, testing, migration, deployment, and post-go-live optimisation.


Key responsibilities include:

* Supporting the end-to-end implementation of MHR People First
* Assisting with configuration, workflows, UAT testing, and deployment
* Leading data cleansing, validation, migration, and reconciliation activity
* Working with large, complex workforce datasets across multiple sites
* Supporting workforce management and rota configuration projects
* Helping standardise HR processes across the organisation
* Delivering user support, training, and adoption activity
* Creating process documentation and system guides
* Collaborating with HR, Payroll, IT, and operational stakeholders
* Supporting future phases including Talent, Learning, and Workforce Management rollouts


👀 What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who sits in that sweet spot between technical systems expertise and operational understanding.


You don’t need to be a pure consultant or developer - but you do need to understand how HR systems work in the real world and how to bring people on the journey.


Essential Experience

* Experience supporting HRIS implementations or migrations
* Exposure to end-to-end HR system projects
* Strong data migration and data quality experience
* Understanding of HR and payroll processes
* Experience working in multi-site organisations
* Confidence working with large datasets and spreadsheets
* Strong stakeholder and communication skills
* Ability to work across technical and non-technical teams


Highly Desirable

* Workforce management / rota implementation experience
* MHR People First experience
* HR/payroll systems knowledge
* Experience within healthcare, retail, hospitality, dental, or other operationally complex environments
* Change and transformation exposure
* HRIS reporting and analytics experience


💡 Why This Role Stands Out

This organisation is growing rapidly through acquisition and modernisation, meaning there’s genuine pace, investment, and long-term opportunity.


You’ll be joining a business that:

* Is replacing heavily manual HR processes with modern digital systems
* Operates across a large UK multi-site network
* Values innovation, continuous improvement, and autonomy
* Gives people real ownership and visibility
* Is investing heavily in transformation projects


There is also potential for longer-term progression into a future Business Systems Manager pathway for the right person.


🌟 The Culture

This is a collaborative, fast-moving environment where people are encouraged to:

* Challenge the status quo
* Think commercially
* Roll their sleeves up
* Work cross-functionally
* Drive real improvement


The team wants someone proactive, adaptable, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in an evolving transformation environment.


📍 Location & Flexibility

* Hybrid role
* South East / Midlands preferred
* Office travel only required a couple of times per month (Office is based in Basingstoke)
* Some travel to operational sites may be required
