HR Coordinator (12 month maternity cover)

Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by

Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Well… you might just be in the right place!

We are currently seeking a highly capable and dedicated full-time People & Culture Coordinator to join our team on a 12 month fixed term basis. We are looking for an exceptional candidate who possesses excellent organisational skills, values confidentiality, and pays meticulous attention to detail. You will report directly to the Lead People Business Partner, playing a vital role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day operations of our People & Culture function for the UK & Ireland.

As the right hand to our People Business Partners, Payroll, and People Operations team members, you will play a critical role in managing the complete employee lifecycle, ranging from conducting onboarding sessions to ensuring HRIS data integrity and generating insightful reports.

This role is truly the backbone of the function responsible for nurturing our most valuable asset: Our people.

What you’ll be doing:

• Own the employee lifecycle support and administration for UK and Ireland (new hire paperwork, onboarding, role/salary changes, Workday updates, time off management, leaves and terminations), involving the preparation of documentation, tracking/processing information and record-keeping.
• Collaborate with our office management, IT, Recruitment and People Business Partners to ensure smooth onboarding and offboarding processes for the UK&I team.
• Perform audits on system information to ensure data integrity while maintaining strict confidentiality and building on our internal control mechanisms.
• Assist in coordination of employee programs that may include training, recognition, DEI, volunteering, and wellness programs.
• Provide general administrative support to the People team and take on special People projects as needed.

And a little bit of....

• Contributing as part of the wider team to achieve organisational objectives even if this means doing things that aren’t strictly within the scope of your role.
• Identify, recommend and proactively take initiative for process and workflow improvements that will allow us to scale and support our significant growth goals.

What you need to bring:

• A minimum of one year of experience in a HR or office administrative role, demonstrating proficiency in effectively managing high-volume workflows.
• Solid understanding of right to work checks for the UK and Ireland.
• Experience with Google drive, Workday, ADP, Greenhouse, Yoti, ServiceNow, Google sheets or similar software.
• Understanding of employment laws, regulations, compliance requirements and the differences across England and Northern Ireland.

Nice to have but not essential:

• CIPD Level 3 or working towards this.
