As HR Officer, you will:
*
Prepare and maintain HR documentation, including contracts, offer letters and HR correspondence.

Carry out new starter inductions and ensure personnel files and HR systems are accurate and up to date.

Provide day-to-day HR administration support to Directors and managers – absence management, basic payroll queries and employee relations paperwork.
