The Institute of Physics (IOP) exists to help physics and the people behind it realise their potential for our lives, our society and our planet.

Working alongside our members and leaders from across the physics community and beyond, we’ve identified three priorities that will shape our work over the next five years: Skills, Science and Society. These priorities sit at the heart of everything we do.

We’re currently looking for a People Officer on a permanent basis, to help us deliver our mission.

What’s it like working at the IOP?

The IOP is a friendly, inclusive and ambitious organisation. Diversity and inclusion are central to how we work. We focus on supporting our people to thrive, offering competitive pay, great development opportunities and a generous benefits package.

  • Preparing and accurately entering all monthly salary information on to the HR system
  • Recruitment support for all Institute vacancies and managing the recruitment process
  • Overseeing the probation and induction process for new starters and to conduct new starter induction sessions
  • Developing new, and streamline existing administrative processes and procedures
  • Generating system reports as and when required

About You...

The role is ideal for someone with good generalist HR experience and up to date knowledge and understanding of key HR legislation and HR systems.

We are looking for an organised and dependable individual who has a proven ability to work with within a small team, and who can communicate effectively with a wide range of people both in written and oral form.

Proven experience of accurate data entry and monthly payroll processes is essential along with previous experience of effectively following administrative processes.

Who will I work with?

  • Internally, the role works across all departments as well as IOP Publishing HR and Finance
  • Externally, the role works with recruitment agencies and other relevant organisations

Ideally, we at the IOP hope you’ll apply if your skills include:

At the IOP, we know that great candidates don’t always tick every box. If your experience looks a little different, but you bring enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn, we’d love to hear from you.

How to apply

Alongside your CV, please include a cover letter explaining how you meet the person specification.

How will I be working?

We work in a flexible, trust‑based way through our How We Work model. This gives individuals and teams the independence to choose how, when and where they work best, while recognising that some in‑person collaboration is important for impact especially from an operational standpoint.

You’ll be assigned a base office, which can also be your chosen place of work. Most of our roles offer hybrid working as standard, with occasional office visits to help us stay connected and support our inclusive way of working. As an organization we meet in person once a quarter at our Head Office in Kings Cross, London.

Why join the IOP?

The IOP is the professional body and learned society for physics in the UK and Ireland. As a charity, we’re passionate about increasing public understanding of physics and supporting a diverse and inclusive physics community.

We’re committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive culture for everyone. If you need any reasonable adjustments during the application or recruitment process, please let us know we’re always happy to help.

Please note whilst we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role, we warmly encourage applications from candidates who already have the right to work in the UK and Ireland.
