The HPC Jobs Service supports local people into exciting, long-term careers across our Project.

Hinkley Point C is the UK’s first new build nuclear power station in a generation that is critical to the UK Net Zero targets.
All roles on the project require key behaviours which support the Zero Harm objective, a questioning attitude, and drive to uphold the standards of safety and quality required by this prestigious project. A committed strong work ethic is essential at all levels.

All candidates are expected to demonstrate their knowledge and experience where possible directly related to the criteria required for the role. It is acknowledged that previous Nuclear based experience will not always be possible, as such supporting with project research and how individual skills may be transferable will be important.

There are opportunities to put together strategic people plans within the nuclear sector, work on wider company people projects, deliver an excellent first class service to employees and ensure the administration and processes that engulf working life are implemented effectively and fairly.

The HR Assistant provides practical, professional support across the Human Resources function, with a particular focus on employee relations and the effective delivery of people processes. Working closely with the HR Advisor and wider HR team, the role will support formal and informal HR casework, attend meetings and hearings, produce accurate minutes and associated documentation, and help ensure matters are progressed consistently, fairly and in line with company procedures.

Alongside this, the HR Assistant will play a key role in the effective delivery of the employee lifecycle, including coordinating the end-to-end onboarding of new starters and staff transfers. The post holder will work closely with HR colleagues, hiring managers, employees and external providers to ensure onboarding and associated compliance requirements are completed accurately and within agreed timescales.

The role will also support the maintenance of accurate employee records and HR systems, reporting and general HR processes, ensuring employee information is accurate, confidential, accessible and audit ready, and that HR activities comply with company, client and regulatory requirements.
