Are you someone who loves working with HR systems, enjoys getting the details right, and takes pride in delivering great customer service? Are you organised, proactive and looking for an opportunity to develop your HR career?

We're looking for a HR/People Team Coordinator to join our People Team on a fixed-term maternity cover contract. This is a varied role where you'll play a key part in supporting colleagues throughout their employment journey while ensuring our HR systems, records and processes are accurate, efficient and effective.

At Saxon Weald, our people are at the heart of everything we do.

• Providing responsive, customer-focused support to managers and colleagues.
• Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes and ways of working.

• Has experience in an HR, people administration or busy administrative environment.
