HR Officer

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing nature conservation organisations and seeks to appoint a HR Officer to join the HR Team.

You're likely to join us from a similar role and so you should have some prior experience of working in recruitment and contractual HR admin support. We're looking for someone who thrives on variety so it's important that you can handle multi-tasking within a fast-paced, process-focused environment. You'll join us at an exciting time when we’re implementing a new HR & Payroll digital system (MHR People First) which will transform the way we work, so you’ll need to be adaptable, flexible and able to grasp new ways of working.

You’ll have great communication skills too, whether that's over the phone or via email, as well as impressive attention to detail and the ability to take direction from others. If you also have plenty of self-motivation and excellent digital and IT-literacy, this is an incredibly rewarding place to bring your career.

The role is crucial to helping us optimise our operational effectiveness. That's going to involve making sure everyone understands our HR policies, procedures and processes. Specifically, we'll need you to provide administrative support for all new joiners, internal transfers and leavers, especially when it comes to pre-employment checks and inductions. As we improve our administrative processes and systems, there’ll also be the opportunity to enhance your involvement in other areas, such as supporting the delivery of HR training and other HR projects in the pipeline or getting some exposure into employee casework. It's that variety of generalist HR that makes this a brilliant place to work, grow your skills and make your mark.
