  • Supporting the People Business Partner to prepare payroll administration and paperwork.
  • Monitoring the sick leave and annual leave processes - escalating any potential issues to the People Business Partners and Head, as appropriate.
  • Supporting the People Business Partners with any training administration, booking paperwork, and supporting training day coordination.
  • Being the super user of the HR system.
  • Updating any changes in the system, as and when needed.
  • Supporting Academy away days.
  • Supporting the People Business Partners in systems development work, as necessary.

  • The ambition to study towards CIPD level 3, or be studying towards.
  • Experience of doing admin (within a P&C department would be an advantage).
  • Some experience of dealing with people at all levels.
  • Excellent IT skills, working with databases (experience with HR databases would be an advantage).
  • Good literacy and numeracy skills

Benefits

  • Salary progression framework.
  • Hybrid and agile working.
  • 29 days' annual leave, including Christmas closure dates, plus bank holidays.
