Collating and submitting monthly payroll changes accurately and on time. Supporting benefits administration and acting as the day-to-day contact for benefit queries.
  • Recruitment & Onboarding: Providing support with recruitment activity - interview scheduling, candidate communications, and ATS (Workable) administration in partnership with our Talent & Development Partner. Owning the logistics of onboarding: supporting new hires and managers to set them up for success, day-one schedules, HR inductions, new hire communications and HRIS setup. Coordinating probation reviews and HR check-ins.
  • Learning and Development: Administering the Learning Management System (LMS): user management, enrolment, progress tracking, and responding to queries. Supporting the coordination of training activity and helping promote a positive learning culture across the business. Producing standard HR reports to support the team's data needs. Maintaining document libraries, policy version control, and HR shared drives. Actively looking for ways to streamline and improve HR processes, including the use of AI and technology tools.
