People Coordinator

At Catch22, we are proud of our reputation as a modern and progressive employer. Our 1,300 colleagues and 300 volunteers work at every stage of the social welfare cycle, supporting over 60,000 individuals from cradle to career. Our work spans education, social justice and rehabilitation, children's social care, family support, social action and getting people into work. The People & Payroll Team plays a critical role in supporting our services to deliver our work. We're a team of nearly 20, and work from our offices in Brasted, Kent, Central London and remotely (with travel to our services).

If you're looking for a job in HR and already have impressive administrative and organisational skills and experience, as well as working towards your CIPD Level 3 or equivalent then we have the ideal role for you. As HR People Coordinator you will be delivering a customer-focussed HR processing service for a number of areas of our organisation. You will be working with our Service Managers to ensure they work to our HR policies, processes and practices. This will include:

• Carrying out Pre Employment checks and generating contracts of employment for new members of staff.
• Processing variations to contracts and payroll changes and administering the leavers processes.
• Monitoring key events and dates relevant to the employment relationship (e.g. end of fixed term contract, DBS renewals) and taking appropriate action.
• Updating our HR system (MHR People First and iTrent, known internally as HouRS) to reflect changes and ensure that records are up to date.
• Dealing in a sensitive and professional manner with enquiries from all sources and maintaining privacy and confidentiality at all times.

You will be managed by our People & Payroll Shared Services Manager and will be working with a team of People Coordinators who support other areas of the organisation, so there will be plenty of opportunities to learn from others, hear more about what we do and how you play a part in the bigger picture. You will also be working closely with the rest of the People Team: Our People Director, People Partners, Director of Employee Experience, Recruitment, Payroll, Learning & Development and the Wellbeing team. Your relationship with our payroll team is also going to be key.
