People Team Coordinator in London

Together we're building a greener tomorrow. Connecting every home and business to a single, secure smart meter network is a huge undertaking. So you can imagine the scale – and variety – and opportunities for the people who'll help us do it.

The role is a People Team Co-Ordinator (12-Month Fixed-Term Contract) based in a hybrid model – Manchester or London.

Looking for a role where no two days are the same? At Smart DCC, we're looking for a proactive, organised and adaptable People Team Co-Ordinator to join our Reward & HR Operations team on a 12-month fixed-term basis. This is more than an administration role. You'll become a key part of a busy and evolving People Team, supporting activities that impact colleagues across the entire organisation. From onboarding new hires and coordinating team activities to managing supplier administration and supporting important People initiatives, you'll play a central role in helping the team operate effectively.

If you're someone who enjoys variety, likes solving problems, thrives on organisation and wants exposure to multiple areas of a People function, this is a fantastic opportunity to broaden your experience and make a genuine impact.

About Smart DCC: We're powering Britain's smarter, greener future. Today, we're building a resilient and sustainable smart energy network that supports millions of homes and businesses across Great Britain. Tomorrow, we'll continue to play a critical role in the UK's journey towards Net Zero. Together, we work as one team to deliver meaningful change for consumers, customers and the wider energy industry. A career at Smart DCC means being part of an organisation with purpose, where you'll have the opportunity to develop your skills, contribute to important projects and build a rewarding career in a supportive environment.

What You'll Be Doing: You'll support the wider People Team across a broad range of activities, including:

• Managing People Team purchase orders, invoices and supplier administration.

• Coordinating meetings, preparing agendas and organising team events.
• Providing note-taking support for meetings and maintaining accurate records.
• Maintaining People Team communications, distribution lists and intranet content.
• Supporting reporting, tracking and other operational activities across the People Team.

What We're Looking For: We're less concerned about whether you've worked in HR before and more interested in finding someone who can bring outstanding organisational skills, initiative and a positive approach. You'll be successful in this role if you have:

• Experience in administration, coordination, operations, customer support or a similar role.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to your work.
• Confidence communicating with a wide range of stakeholders.
• The ability to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
• Professionalism and discretion when handling confidential information.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications.

Why Join Us: This is an exciting opportunity to join the People Team at a pivotal time for Smart DCC. You'll have the opportunity to:

• Gain exposure to multiple specialist areas across the People function, including Reward, HR Operations, Learning and Employee Experience.
• Develop new skills and broaden your experience in a supportive and collaborative environment.
• Build relationships with stakeholders across the business.
• Play a key role in helping the People Team deliver an excellent service to colleagues.
• Join a newly established role with the opportunity to shape how it evolves.
• Be part of a business helping to deliver one of the UK's most important energy transformation programmes.

This role would suit someone who enjoys being the person that keeps everything organised, can confidently juggle competing priorities and takes pride in delivering a great service to colleagues and stakeholders alike.
