Join The King’s Trust as an HR Coordinator and play a vital role in delivering a seamless, high‑quality employee experience that directly supports our mission to empower young people. Sitting within our People & Learning team, you’ll be at the heart of the employee lifecycle – ensuring every interaction, from onboarding to leaving, is handled with accuracy, care and efficiency. Your work will underpin our ability to have the right people in the right roles at the right time, enabling meaningful impact where it matters most.
In this fast‑paced shared services environment, you’ll manage a broad range of HR processes and be a trusted first point of contact for colleagues across the organisation. You will:
- Deliver end‑to‑end employee lifecycle support, including contracts, changes and leaver processes
- Provide guidance on HR related queries such as family leave, annual leave and sickness entitlements
- Maintain accurate HR data and systems (SAP SuccessFactors) with a strong focus on GDPR compliance
- Manage pre‑employment checks and partner with payroll to ensure data accuracy and timeliness
- Provide responsive, high‑quality support via the HR Help Desk and Volunteer Help Desk
- Conduct employee and volunteer vetting checks in line with safeguarding requirements
This role is perfect for someone who thrives on detail, organisation and service excellence. You’ll bring proven experience across the HR lifecycle within a shared services or similar environment, alongside strong customer service skills and confidence managing competing priorities. A solid understanding of data protection, HR policies and systems (ideally SAP SuccessFactors), combined with clear communication and a proactive, solutions‑focused mindset, will set you up to succeed in this role.
Why do we need HR Coordinators?
Last year, we helped more than 40,000 young people, with three in four young people on our programmes moving into a positive outcome in work, education or training. The young people we help face a range of challenges, such as unemployment, mental health issues or some who have been in trouble with the law. We believe young people should have the chance to succeed, and that they are the key to a positive and prosperous future for all of us. We want to continue having a positive impact on young people’s lives and we couldn’t do this without the important work of HR Coordinators.
