Role Overview

This role supports our entire HR team to deliver on a number of different things. You'll be involved with areas such as payroll, recruitment, benefits, and management of the HR inbox, amongst others.

Your day to day will be a mixture of reactive and proactive work, ensuring that reporting deadlines are met, employee requests are acted on, and supporting our HR Business Partners with any requests that come up.

This role requires an in-depth knowledge of the different functions within the business, as well as the ability to communicate with stakeholders at every level of the business.

Our HR team meets in the Southampton office once a week, so somebody based in the area would be highly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Own the entire employee lifecycle—contracts, salary changes, and more.
• Keep our HR and payroll systems on point—accuracy is everything.
• Manage benefits systems—adding new joiners, removing leavers, and running reports.
• Be the go-to for data integrity—auditing, cleansing, and keeping everything up to date.
• Oversee the HR inbox—ensuring queries are answered at lightning speed.
• Work on exciting HR projects that shape our culture and people strategy.

What are we looking for?

• Someone looking to build a career in HR, with previous experience in an HR team being ideal (CIPD Level 3 or equivalent is a plus!).
• Organisational skills—tasks will come from any and all areas of the business, and you’ll be able to manage them with ease.
• Tech experience—MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) is a must, and experience with HRIS & payroll systems is non-negotiable.
• Communication—you’ll be talking to everyone from new starters to the CEO, so confidence and professionalism are key.
• Attention to detail—our work directly affects our employees, so we need to make sure things are done properly and with care.
• Passion—a desire to get stuck into different parts of the business and learn from the wider team.

Even if you don't meet all of the requirements for this role, we encourage you to apply! We are looking for talented and passionate individuals who are eager to learn and grow.
