Your New Role

As a People Associate, you will play an important role within the People Services team, providing professional, responsive and customer-focused HR administration and support to employees and managers across the organisation. You will support the full employee lifecycle, preparing and processing employment documentation such as contracts, contractual amendments, probation letters and termination letters, while maintaining accurate and up-to-date employee records on the HR Information System. You will work closely with the Payroll team to ensure employee information is processed accurately and that employees are paid correctly and on time. You will also manage HR queries through the People Services ticketing system, ensuring issues are resolved professionally and within agreed timescales. Alongside your day-to-day responsibilities, you will contribute to improving HR processes and documentation, support wider People projects and promote a positive, engaging and supportive workplace culture.

Ensuring Your Success

To be successful in this role, you will have excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail and good IT skills, particularly Microsoft Excel and Word. You will have experience working with HR Information Systems and maintaining accurate employee records, with the ability to handle sensitive and confidential information professionally. You will be highly organised and able to prioritise a varied workload, manage competing deadlines and adapt to changing priorities within a fast-paced environment. You will be confident building positive relationships with employees, managers and stakeholders at all levels and will demonstrate initiative, accountability and a proactive approach to resolving problems. A collaborative attitude, resilience under pressure and a willingness to learn and develop will also be important. Experience of payroll administration, HR Operations or People Services, and knowledge of Dayforce or a similar HR system, would be advantageous. An additional European language such as Spanish, Dutch or German would also be desirable.



In Return

In return, you will join a supportive and collaborative People Services team where you will have the opportunity to develop your HR knowledge and gain valuable experience across the full employee lifecycle. You will play a key role in delivering an excellent employee experience while contributing to the continued improvement of People Services processes and initiatives. The organisation will provide opportunities for ongoing learning and development, allowing you to build your skills and progress your career within HR and People Services.
