About Wasing
Wasing is one of the UK's most diverse rural estates, combining internationally recognised weddings and events, music festivals, regenerative farming, commercial property, hospitality, retreats and a thriving marina business. We're building a modern People & Culture function to support the people who make all of this happen.
The Opportunity
This newly created role sits at the heart of a growing estate, providing the administrative foundation for our People & Culture function while supporting Finance and wider estate operations. Reporting to the Head of Finance, People & Culture, you'll take ownership of day-to-day admin — freeing up time for strategic improvements and playing a genuine part in improving the employee experience across every area of the business.
What you'll be doing
People & Culture
- Coordinating recruitment campaigns, arranging interviews and supporting hiring managers
- Administering the procurement of training services
- Monitoring employee performance, including sickness and attendance
- Maintaining HR documentation and supporting policy updates
- Coordinating exit interviews and maintaining records
- Supporting the rollout of new People & Culture policies and processes
Finance
- Updating payroll software with employee changes
- Checking payroll for accuracy
- Monitoring the finance inbox and handling queries
- Processing supplier invoices through approval software
- Learning to use Xero
Other
- Covering various systems during holidays and absences
- Administering till systems for outdoor events
- Occasional reception cover, stationery/refreshments and support with office planning
What we're looking for
- Experience in a people-facing role
- Accounts/payroll experience is an advantage
- Strong IT skills, including MS Office
- Experience in hospitality, estates, multi-site or SME environments is a plus
- Proactive, organised and detail-oriented, with a can-do attitude
- Comfortable working across multiple departments and priorities
- Excellent communication skills, and professional/discreet with confidential information
- A genuine enjoyment of improving processes
This is a great opportunity for someone early in their People & Culture or HR career — or moving across from an admin or finance background — to grow their responsibilities as the role and the function develop.
