Role Purpose:

The People & Culture Co-ordinator (Recruitment and Governance Lead) plays a key operational role in delivering a responsive, accurate and practical People & Culture service to Wildanet’s delivery teams and their managers.

The role leads coordination across recruitment, onboarding, HR administration, payroll inputs, people systems, reporting and governance checks, ensuring managers have the support, tools and information they need to manage people processes effectively.

The role also provides assurance to the Chief People Officer through accurate data, audit-ready evidence, compliance checks and action tracking, while actively driving automation, workflow improvement and manager self-service to reduce manual administration and improve service consistency. Success in this role requires ownership of deadlines, accuracy and follow-through in a fast-paced operational environment, with a willingness to support colleagues across functions when priorities require it.

Role positioning: This is an operational coordination role, not an HR Advisor or HR Business Partner role. The role does not own employee relations advice, formal case management or business partnering decisions. Its focus is on delivering reliable people services, recruitment coordination, governance checks, accurate data, manager self-service and process improvement, with advisory or case-related matters escalated to the HR Business Partner or Chief People Officer as appropriate.

Core Responsibilities:

• Deliver a responsive, practical and high-quality operational People & Culture service to Wildanet’s delivery teams, supporting managers with recruitment, onboarding, people administration, process guidance and timely escalation.

• Coordinate onboarding and new starter administration, including contracts, offer letters, right to work checks, employment documentation, HR system set-up, payroll information, induction arrangements and probation review tracking.
• Act as a first point of contact for delivery managers on recruitment, onboarding and routine People & Culture process queries, providing clear guidance, self-service support and practical direction.
• Maintain the integrity of people data across HR systems, personnel files, payroll records and recruitment trackers, ensuring information is accurate, confidential, GDPR-compliant and suitable for audit and reporting.
• Provide governance checks and assurance support for the Chief People Officer by preparing accurate people operations reports, recruitment metrics, onboarding updates, compliance summaries, audit evidence, risk indicators and action trackers.
• Own and improve core People & Culture governance resources, including policy directories, standard templates, workflow documentation, process trackers, manager guidance and self-service materials.
• Drive automation and self-service improvements by identifying manual processes, improving templates and workflows, supporting HR system adoption and making it easier for managers to access guidance, complete routine processes and track actions.
• Own the coordination of payroll inputs and related deadlines, ensuring starter, leaver, contractual change, absence, pension and benefits information is collated, checked, submitted and followed up accurately within agreed payroll cut-off dates. Administer any corporate benefits and requests via the rewards portal within agreed timeframes.
• Work willingly and flexibly with colleagues across People & Culture, Finance, Fleet, Facilities, Health & Safety, Learning & Development and operational delivery teams to resolve queries, complete joined-up actions and maintain a reliable colleague service. Monitor incoming correspondence to determine the correct actions and escalations as relevant.
• Provide administrative support across employee lifecycle activity, including contractual changes, leaver processing, reference requests, family leave, flexible working, Occupational Health referrals and employee correspondence.
• Provide administrative and tracking support for employee lifecycle and case-related documentation under direction from the HR Business Partner, without owning employee relations advice or formal case management decisions.
• Contribute to operational discipline across People & Culture by identifying service issues, process gaps, data quality concerns and governance risks, and taking action to resolve or escalate them.
