We're looking for a friendly, organised and hands‑on HR professional to join a creative and fast‑paced business on a temporary basis to start immediately. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys keeping HR operations running smoothly, working independently, and becoming a valued part of a collaborative team. Whether you're a strong HR Administrator ready for more responsibility or an experienced HR Advisor looking for a varied interim opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.
The Role
Reporting into the senior leadership team, you'll play a key role in ensuring day‑to‑day HR activity runs efficiently and effectively. This is a practical, operational role focused on supporting the business through a busy period, rather than leading on strategic HR initiatives.
Key Responsibilities
- Managing day‑to‑day HR administration and employee records
- Preparing and issuing contracts, letters and HR documentation
- Responding to employee and manager queries via the HR inbox
- Supporting with employee relations matters and escalating where appropriate
- Managing references, probation processes and exit interviews
- Assisting with maternity, flexible working and other employee lifecycle processes
- Supporting managers with employee adjustments and wellbeing requirements
- Maintaining confidentiality and handling sensitive information appropriately
- Ensuring HR processes remain compliant, organised and up to date
About You
We're keen to speak with candidates who have:
- Around 2-3 years' HR experience, ideally at HR Administrator, HR Coordinator or HR Advisor level
- The confidence to work independently and manage their own workload
- A proactive, practical approach with excellent attention to detail
- Strong communication skills and a friendly, approachable manner
- Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, including data entry and reporting
- CIPD qualification (or working towards) is desirable but not essential
About the Business
This is a creative, energetic and people‑focused organisation with a refreshingly down‑to‑earth culture. The team values collaboration, positivity and flexibility, making it an enjoyable environment for someone who enjoys building relationships and getting stuck in. The role is fully office‑based in LS23. Due to the location, applicants will ideally have access to their own transport.
If you're an HR professional looking for a busy, hands‑on interim opportunity where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.
