You'll be the day-to-day owner of Workday, our core people system, keeping our data accurate and our processes smooth from hire to leave.

• Help bring company events, engagement initiatives and wider people programmes to life

What You'll Bring

• A sound understanding of core UK employment practices, HR administration and compliance
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple priorities while keeping data accurate
• A process‑mind set approach, with a track record of improving and streamlining ways of working
• Confident communication and the ability to build strong relationships at all levels
• Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive, confidential information
• Working towards — or willing to undertake — CIPD Level 3 or 5 (or equivalent on‑the‑job experience)
