HR Officer

Are you a people-focused HR professional who thrives in a busy, collaborative environment? We’re looking for an organised and proactive HR Officer to join our team on a 10-month fixed-term contract. This is a great opportunity for someone with solid HR generalist experience who enjoys supporting team members across the lifecycle—from recruitment and onboarding through to employee relations and policy development. You don’t need to follow football to apply, but you will need to have a strong foundational experience in HR already under your belt, so that you’ll be able to get up to speed quickly and add value from the outset. No two days are the same, and you’ll work closely with managers and teammates across the Foundation, and external applicants to deliver a smooth and professional people experience.

As HR officer you will:

• Manage end-to-end recruitment campaigns, from job ad to onboarding, using our Applicant Tracking System.
• Draft offer letters and contracts, coordinate pre-employment checks and new starter onboarding.
• Be the main point of contact for day-to-day HR queries, offering advice or escalating where needed.
• Support monthly payroll and benefits administration in collaboration with the Finance team.
• Assist with key HR processes including PDRs, training, probation, and policy reviews.
• Provide support on ER matters and help coordinate casework as needed.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in HR administration or as a generalist, with confidence managing recruitment and onboarding.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to offer sound HR advice.
• Confident using HR systems and Microsoft 365, with excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to manage confidential information with discretion and integrity.
• Organised and self-motivated, with the flexibility to juggle multiple tasks and deadlines.

Why join us?

We’re a friendly, supportive organisation where you’ll have the chance to grow your skills in a collaborative and inclusive culture. Apply now to be part of our team!

We have an immediate gap in the team, so there is a preference for candidates who are immediately available, however, we welcome and will consider applications from all suitably qualified candidates.

We encourage candidates to apply as soon as possible, as we may close the advert and application window early if we have received sufficient applications.
