Maintain accurate employee data across HR systems and trackers, with strong attention to detail and data integrity.
Manage and maintain compliant digital employee files, ensuring documentation is complete, organised, and audit-ready.

A genuine HR generalist mindset: curious, hands-on, and motivated to learn all aspects of the People function.
Comfortable balancing recruiting, admin, and employee support responsibilities.
Strong organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail — accuracy matters to you.
Proactive and resourceful: you anticipate needs, spot issues early, and take ownership.
