The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is the UK s independent regulator of advertising. Our purpose is to make advertisements responsible and our ambition is to make every UK ad a responsible ad. In late 2023, we finalised our new five-year strategy, which set out our strategic decisions in areas including operational transformation, the Planet, and collective ad regulation. We also committed to putting people, especially the vulnerable, first, and to making sure we have the best people working with us.

We think the ASA is a great place to work! However, don t just take our word for it. In our last employee survey in which 97% of our employees took part, a whopping 90% of our staff said they believe their work is important and valued by the ASA , and 82% said they were proud to tell people that they work for the ASA. But we re not complacent. We know we can always do better and that high levels of employee wellbeing, belonging and engagement have never been more important to our staff and therefore our business.

Which is why we are now looking for a capable and experienced individual to join us as our People Team Assistant. Reporting to the Human Resources Manager, you will ensure effective support for the People Team (HR & Talent) and provide an efficient, reliable, customer-focused service to staff, management and applicants.

The successful candidate will provide support to the HR Team with Employee Relations issues, Occupational Health referrals, maternity / paternity / flexible working requests and recruitment administration. You will maintain accurate, accessible records, whilst contributing to internal communication content to promote greater understanding of HR policies, benefits, processes and activity. You will also support the Talent Team with
