We are working with a respected, values-led charity based in North Finchley to find a thoughtful, highly organised HR Administrator who is looking to build a meaningful, long-term role within a people-focused HR function. A return client, we have had the pleasure of recruiting for them for many years with a strong track record of happy employees!
This is not a traditional, back-office HR role. Instead, it offers the opportunity to become a trusted operational partner to an assigned HR Business Partner (who is wonderful and you will learn alot from - we know her well also) supporting a defined portfolio of teams and departments with care, accuracy and consistency.
The organisation is reshaping its HR function to be more relational, responsive and values-driven, and this role sits at the heart of that vision. It will suit someone who takes genuine pride in supporting others, thrives on structure and process, and enjoys being a calm, reliable presence in a fast-moving environment.
