Location: Cardiff Head Office – fully office based

We’re looking for an experienced HR Administrator to join our HR team at our Cardiff Head Office.

We’re a rapidly expanding, fast-paced business, and this is a varied role where no two days are likely to be the same. You’ll work closely with our HR Manager and HR Advisor, providing essential administrative support across the full range of day-to-day HR activity.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with solid HR administration experience who is highly organised, confident dealing with people and comfortable managing multiple priorities at the same time.

What you’ll be doing

• Preparing contracts, offer letters and other HR correspondence

• Managing new starter, employee change and leaver administration

• Maintaining accurate employee records and HR systems

• Supporting absence, holiday and other employee administration

• Arranging disciplinary, grievance, investigation and other HR meetings

• Attending HR meetings and taking clear, accurate and comprehensive notes

• Preparing documentation to support employee relations processes

• Responding to HR queries from managers and colleagues

• Processing employee changes accurately and within required deadlines

• Supporting right-to-work and other compliance processes

• Producing reports and maintaining accurate HR data

• Helping the HR Manager and HR Advisor with the day-to-day organisation of a busy HR function

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone with at least three years’ experience in a similar HR administration role.

You’ll need:

• Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities

• Excellent note-taking skills, with the ability to accurately capture detailed conversations during HR meetings

• Excellent attention to detail

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Confidence communicating with managers and colleagues at all levels

• The ability to work effectively in a busy and rapidly changing environment

• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office

• A professional and discreet approach when dealing with confidential and sensitive information

• The ability to work independently while also being an effective member of a small HR team

Experience of supporting disciplinary, grievance, absence or other employee relations processes would be particularly useful.

A CIPD qualification would be welcome, but practical HR experience and the right organisational skills are more important to us.

What we offer

• £28,000–£30,000 salary, depending on experience

• 37.5-hour working week

• Monday to Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm

• 5.6 weeks’ holiday per year

• Workplace pension

• On-site kitchen facilities

• Free tea and coffee

• The opportunity to work as part of a hands-on HR team in a rapidly expanding business

• Exposure to a broad range of HR and employee relations activity, giving you the opportunity to further develop your HR experience

This is a fully office-based position at our Cardiff Head Office, five days per week.
