Are you an experienced HR professional looking for a varied generalist role where no two days are the same?

We are recruiting an experienced HR Officer to join a well-established and growing business on a 6-month fixed-term contract, covering maternity leave.

• Supporting the HR Manager with employee relations activity, including meeting preparation and note taking
• Supporting absence, probation and other general HR processes
• Maintaining accurate and confidential employee records
• Producing weekly and monthly HR reports and management information
• Coordinating training and other HR activities
• Working closely with the HR & Office Administrator and wider business

• Able to handle sensitive and confidential information with tact and professionalism
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word
• CIPD Level 3 or 5 would be advantageous

• £31,000 - £34,000 per annum
• 6-month fixed-term contract covering maternity leave
