An SME creative business is looking for an HR Administrator to join their People team - a hands-on generalist role where no two days look the same.

You'll sit right at the centre of a busy, people-focused environment, supporting across the full employee lifecycle and helping to shape how HR is delivered day to day. It's a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys variety and pace, and who wants to be trusted with real responsibility from the start. You'll be encouraged to bring ideas, improve ways of working, and contribute to an already positive, collaborative culture.

What you'll be doing

Reporting into the Head of HR, you'll support the full employee lifecycle from onboarding through to offboarding, including right to work checks, issuing contracts, and ensuring every new starter has a smooth, welcoming experience. Day to day, you'll act as a key point of contact for employees, answering queries and providing first-line HR support.You'll also get the chance to support on low-level cases, and helping keep policies up to date. .

Beyond the day-to-day, you'll support across broader HR activity including benefits, payroll coordination, L&D administration, and people projects, as well as getting stuck into ongoing initiatives around culture, engagement, and process improvement. You'll also play a key role in maintaining HR systems and processes, becoming a HRIS superuser for the business.

About you

You'll have some solid foundational HR experience and feel at home in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift quickly, ideally within a creative or SME business . You're comfortable managing a high-volume workload, enjoy building relationships across a business, and bring strong attention to detail.

Working model

This is a hybrid role with a regular office presence expected - four days in the office and one day working from home. The team values being together in person, and you'll have plenty of autonomy and visibility in the role.
