Why This Role?
We're looking for a People Administrator to support the smooth delivery of core People operations across the employee lifecycle.

What You'll Be Doing
• Managing administration across the employee lifecycle, including contracts, contractual changes and leaver processes
• Coordinating onboarding activities including right-to-work checks, references, DBS checks, inductions and probation administration
• Maintaining accurate employee records and updating People systems with employee changes
• Supporting absence administration including sickness, parental leave and other leave requests
• Administering employee benefits, enrolments, amendments and employee queries
• Responding to employment references, including mortgage, visa and ex-employee requests

Desirable
• Experience supporting employee benefits administration
• Experience preparing People reports and management information
• Previous exposure to compliance, audit or policy administration activities
