Ready to kick-start your career in the fast-paced world of HR? At Buy It Direct, one of the UK's fastest-growing e-commerce businesses, we're looking for an enthusiastic, proactive and ambitious HR Coordinator to join our People Team.
This is more than just a job; it's a launchpad for your HR career. You'll gain hands‑on, 360‑degree experience across both HR and Payroll within a thriving commercial business, giving you real responsibility and exposure from day one.
We're committed to supporting your professional development too. We'll fully fund your CIPD qualification (Level 3 and, as you progress, Level 5 – worth up to £7k) to help you build your expertise and accelerate your career.
What You'll Be Doing
* Helping to bring great people into the business by supporting recruitment activities, from shortlisting and arranging interviews to conducting first‑stage telephone interviews.
* Ensuring we make a brilliant first impression by coordinating onboarding and working with hiring managers on new starter induction plans.
* Supporting day‑to‑day HR and employee relations queries, with guidance and mentoring from our two HR Business Partners.
* Keeping our people data accurate and useful by producing reports and maintaining key HR information.
* Supporting the monthly payroll process by maintaining accurate starter, leaver and contractual change information in Sage 50.
* Getting stuck into employee engagement activities and wider People Team projects that help make Buy It Direct a great place to work.
You'll Ideally Have
* A natural people person with strong communication skills and the confidence to build positive relationships throughout the business.
* A proactive, can‑do attitude and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.
* The ability to juggle multiple priorities, adapt to changing demands, and thrive in a fast‑paced environment.
* Excellent organisational skills and a keen eye for detail – you spot the small details that make a big difference.
* Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and enthusiasm for learning new systems and processes.
* GCSEs (or equivalent) in English and Maths at Grade 4/C or above.
* Previous experience in HR, payroll or L&D would be a bonus, but it's not essential. We're looking for someone with enthusiasm, determination, a positive attitude and a genuine desire to learn and develop.
What's In It for You?
* Fully funded CIPD qualification – gain your CIPD Level 3 (worth £3k) and the opportunity to achieve Level 5 (worth £4k).
* Real progression opportunities – clear, genuine opportunities to advance your career within a growing e-commerce business.
* 360° exposure – build hands‑on experience across HR and Payroll, giving you a well‑rounded foundation for your future career.
* A supportive team – join a collaborative team where your ideas are valued, your development is supported, and your contribution has a real impact.
* Staff discounts – enjoy exclusive discounts on our product range.
* Free on‑site parking – making your commute that little bit easier.
