This is a fantastic opportunity for someone eager to gain broad generalist experience and progress their career in HR.
At Lifton, we believe the right attitude and behaviours matter more than ticking every skills box - we can train skills, but we can't teach the passion and approach that make our team great.
You'll play a key role in ensuring smooth HR operations, from recruitment and onboarding to employee lifecycle administration and colleague engagement.
As our next HR Assistant, you'll:

Carry out eligibility to work checks, personal file audits, and data compliance checks.
Support absence management and help ensure consistent application across departments.
Carry out payroll-related activities and ad hoc admin duties such as filing, producing clock cards, and minute-taking.
Maintain full confidentiality and uphold data protection standards at all times.
What You'll Need
At least one year admin experience (HR experience is an advantage but not essential if you have the right mindset).
Strong IT skills, with experience using HR systems.
Excellent communication and organisational skills.
Able to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines.
Self-motivated, with excellent time management and attention to detail.
Able to maintain confidentiality and data integrity.
A flexible, proactive approach and ability to adapt to change.
Why Join Us?
At Lifton, you'll join a supportive and fast-paced team where your contributions will make a real difference. You'll gain exposure to the full range of generalist HR activity, work closely with our HR Business Partner and Senior HR Business Partner, and develop your skills in a dynamic manufacturing environment.
