Are you ready to make a real impact in the HR landscape?
We are looking for an enthusiastic HR Administrator to join our team, playing a pivotal role in the daily administration of HR functions at DHC. You will support the HR Manager in ensuring that all administrative tasks are completed to a high standard, following our set processes.
Although the main focus will be on supporting the recruitment process, including completing pre-employment checks and onboarding new starters, you will be involved in all aspects of HR admin.
Our ability to provide exceptional healthcare services depends on having suitably qualified and experienced staff at every level. You'll be instrumental in helping DHC managers recruit new staff efficiently and effectively, ensuring we continue to deliver top-tier services.
You will be providing a comprehensive HR service that equips managers, employees, and contractors with best practices to cultivate a high-performance culture. This role requires a proactive approach, with the ability to use your initiative to manage, prioritise, and organise your time effectively while maintaining the confidentiality and security of HR data.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for a candidate with a background in a similar role or strong administrative experience, ideally within a sector that values compliance with external regulations, particularly regarding the employment of staff and contractors.
Whilst previous HR experience would be advantageous, being organised, accurate, and good with admin is the most important. This role involves supporting critical HR functions where attention to detail, accuracy, and efficiency are key.
You will manage HR administration across the entire employee lifecycle. This includes recruitment, pre-employment checks, onboarding arrangements, but also all other areas, like processing leavers or contractual changes. You will also contribute to broader HR projects and processes, ensuring efficient and compliant HR operations.
This position is perfect for someone who wants to build a career in HR. However, it is equally suited to individuals who excel in administration and are seeking a challenging and rewarding role.
Location:
This role is based at DHC's Head Office in Redhill. A minimum of three days per week in the office is expected, with the opportunity for hybrid working if desired.
We screen and shortlist suitable candidates as applications are received. We reserve the right to close this vacancy early and without notice if we fill the position. Therefore, we encourage early applications to avoid disappointment.
