We are looking for a motivated HR professional who has mastered the administrative fundamentals and is eager to learn.

- Employee Relations Support: Manage the administrative side of case management (disciplinary, grievance, absence) while gradually taking the lead on low-risk meetings.
- HR Systems & Reporting: Keep our HRIS accurate and use the data to create meaningful reports on turnover, absence, and engagement.
- Project Involvement: Contribute directly to wider HR initiatives, such as well-being strategies and performance review rollouts.
What We Are Looking For
- Solid HR Administration Foundation: You already have proven experience managing core HR administrative processes in a fast-paced environment.
- A Desire to Learn: You actively seek feedback, ask questions, and are highly motivated to expand your HR knowledge.
