As the Human Resources Executive, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth delivery of HR services across the entire employee journey, from recruitment through to offboarding. The organisation offers a supportive and inclusive workplace with flexible working options, generous holiday entitlement including your birthday off, a company bonus scheme, and a strong commitment to professional development. If you are looking for a role where your organisational skills and people-first approach will be truly valued-and where you can help shape the future of HR within a growing business-this could be the perfect next step for you.

• Support recruitment campaigns by preparing job descriptions, advertising vacancies, scheduling interviews, and participating in interview panels as needed to ensure a seamless hiring process.
• Coordinate all aspects of onboarding for new starters, including drafting offer letters, conducting background checks, preparing contracts, and organising induction schedules to foster positive first impressions.
• Maintain accurate employee records by setting up digital files, tracking probation periods, managing offboarding activities such as exit interviews and leaver documentation to ensure compliance and consistency.
• Assist with employee-related documentation for flexible working requests, maternity/paternity or adoption leave, and other life events while providing timely follow-up and support.
• Help organise internal training sessions and company events by managing diaries, sending communications, and ensuring all logistics are handled efficiently.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills that enable you to interact effectively with colleagues at all levels of the organisation.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel), Google Workspace tools (Docs, Gmail), as well as familiarity with web-based HR platforms such as Bright HR (desirable but not essential).
• Ability to prioritise multiple tasks efficiently in a busy office setting while meeting competing deadlines without compromising quality or accuracy.
• A collaborative team player who brings a hands-on approach along with flexibility to support various areas of HR operations as required.
