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.
