About the role
The HR Coordinator will play a key role in supporting the smooth running of The Brilliant Club’s HR operations. Sitting within a wider HR team, this role is primarily focused on delivering high quality administrative support across the employee lifecycle, particularly in relation to attraction, recruitment, selection, onboarding and offboarding activity.
Working closely with the HR Director and wider HR team, the HR Coordinator will help ensure that HR processes are delivered efficiently, consistently and with excellent attention to detail. The role will involve maintaining accurate employee records within our HR system (Personio), coordinating recruitment administration, supporting compliance processes and assisting with a range of people-related activities across the organisation.
Alongside core HR administration, the HR Coordinator will also have the opportunity to support wider HR and organisational projects, including elements of equality, diversity and inclusion work, process improvement initiatives and systems development. At times, the role may also involve supporting related administrative activity connected to our tutor workforce and wider operations processes.
This role would suit someone with strong organisational and administrative skills who thrives in a fast paced, detail-oriented environment and enjoys balancing multiple priorities. We are looking for someone who is proactive, flexible and willing to get stuck into a broad range of work, including opportunities that may sit slightly outside of their immediate remit in order to support their own development and the wider team.
Prior HR experience is not essential, however a genuine interest in HR, people, culture and organisational development is strongly encouraged and desirable. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking to build a career within HR and develop their skills within a supportive, collaborative and mission-driven organisation.
