HR Administrator; HR Admin Partner

Overview

We are working with a respected, values-led charity based in North Finchley to find a thoughtful, highly organised HR Administrator who is looking to build a meaningful, long-term role within a people-focused HR function. A return client, we have had the pleasure of recruiting for them for many years with a strong track record of happy employees!

This is not a traditional, back-office HR role. Instead, it offers the opportunity to become a trusted operational partner to an assigned HR Business Partner (who is wonderful and you will learn a lot from - we know her well also) supporting a defined portfolio of teams and departments with care, accuracy and consistency.

The organisation is reshaping its HR function to be more relational, responsive and values-driven, and this role sits at the heart of that vision. It will suit someone who takes genuine pride in supporting others, thrives on structure and process, and enjoys being a calm, reliable presence in a fast-moving environment.

You will act as the operational backbone for your assigned HR portfolio, ensuring that every step of the employee lifecycle is handled with clarity, professionalism and dignity.

• Coordinating key HR processes, including issuing contracts and offer letters, processing starters and leavers, and supporting probation and induction timelines
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date employee records using CoreHR, ensuring compliance with data standards and safeguarding requirements
• Tracking and logging key checks, including DBS, right-to-work and references
• Liaising closely with Payroll to ensure all monthly changes are submitted accurately and on time
• Acting as a first point of contact for HR queries from managers, lay leaders and staff, resolving where possible and escalating appropriately
• Supporting the coordination of recruitment campaigns, appraisals, training events and employee relations processes where required
• Producing reports, trackers and documentation to support HR Business Partners and functional leads
• Providing note-taking and administrative support for employee lifecycle meetings, including maternity, flexible working and exit discussions
• Being a calm, responsive and reliable point of contact for your portfolio, offering clarity, reassurance and consistent follow-through
• Contributing to continuous improvement within the HR admin team, sharing ideas and supporting a collaborative, learning-focused culture

This role will suit someone with experience in a fast-paced HR or administrative environment who values accuracy, discretion and strong working relationships.

You will be:

• Highly organised, detail-oriented and comfortable managing multiple processes at once
• Confident using HR systems, spreadsheets and digital tools
• Naturally collaborative, with a supportive and service-minded approach
• Comfortable asking questions, flagging issues early and working in partnership with others
• Discreet, professional and trusted with sensitive and confidential information
• Ideally experienced in a values-led, charity or faith-based environment, with an appreciation for context, respect and cultural sensitivity
