The Role
This is an HR Graduate role with purpose. You’ll be right at the heart of the people function – supporting recruitment, onboarding, engagement, and HR operations. You’ll help bring great people into the business and make sure their experience once they’re here is just as positive.
You’ll provide:

Source candidates through job boards, LinkedIn, and proactive outreach.
-
Screen CVs, conduct professional telephone interviews, and coordinate the interview process with hiring managers.
-
Draft and update job descriptions, offers, and onboarding materials.
Pre-Employment & Onboarding
-
Prepare and issue employment contracts, offer letters, and pre-employment documentation (Right to Work, DBS, references).
-
Upload and maintain compliance records on HR systems.
-
Support onboarding by setting up new hires on systems, assigning training, and arranging ID badges and welcome materials.
HR Operations & Support
-
Manage employee queries and draft standard HR correspondence (probation outcomes, changes to terms, meeting invites).
-
Provide accurate note-taking for formal HR meetings and support ad hoc HR projects.
-
Maintain HR records, ensuring accuracy, confidentiality, and compliance.
Employee Engagement & Offboarding
-
Update employee data across engagement and benefits platforms.
-
Support monthly HR administration tasks such as probation tracking and benefits reporting.

Assist with offboarding processes, ensuring documentation and system updates are completed smoothly.
