Today, BBS operates from branches in Bristol, Bath, Yate and Weston\-super\-Mare, serving commercial developers, maintenance firms, domestic heating engineers, property developers and renewable energy specialists across the South West.

The Opportunity

Growth Creates Opportunity

We're looking for an organised, proactive and ambitious HR Administrator to join our People Team and play a key role in supporting colleagues across the business. This is more than a traditional administration role. It's an opportunity to build a long\-term HR career within a growing organisa

tion where you'll gain exposure to a wide range of HR activities, develop new skills and help support meaningful change.

For the right person, we will support progression into a broader HR role and, following a successful period of strong performance and development, provide support towards CIPD qualification.

  • Coordinating training records and learning activities.

  • Producing reports and people data.

  • Supporting employee engagement initiatives and internal communications.

  • Assisting with HR projects and process improvements.

  • Playing an active role in supporting the implementation of our new HRIS platform.
We're looking for someone with the right attitude, strong administrative skills and a genuine desire to build a career in HR. We can help you develop the rest.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

This role offers the chance to gain hands\-on experience across the full employee lifecycle while helping shape how our People Team operates in the future.

You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Able to manage multiple tasks and priorities effectively.

Why Join BBS?

You'll work closely with experienced leaders, gain practical business experience from day one and become part of a company that is actively investing in its future growth.
