About the Role

We are delighted to be partnering with a leading UK professional services business to recruit a HR Coordinator to join its established and forward-thinking HR team.

This is an exciting opportunity for an HR professional who enjoys a varied, hands-on role and wants to play an important part in delivering a high-quality employee experience across the full employee lifecycle.

The HR Coordinator will provide day-to-day operational HR support across onboarding, employee administration, HR systems and data, early careers, learning and development, payroll and benefits. The role will also have a strong focus on improving processes through technology, automation and the effective use of HR data.
