* Acting as a first point of contact for HR queries
* Supporting recruitment, onboarding and employee changes
* Drafting contracts, letters and maintaining accurate records
* Working across a shared inbox or ticketing system
* Supporting HR reporting and data accuracy
* Contributing to project work and process improvements
This is a role where organisation, responsiveness and attention to detail are key.
The person
* Experience supporting HR processes such as recruitment and onboarding
* A good understanding of the employee lifecycle
* Comfortable handling first-line queries from managers and employees
* Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities
* Experience supporting projects or process improvements would be beneficial
