We are exclusively partnering with a highly respected healthcare provider in the Runcorn area to recruit a proactive, organised HR & People Assistant. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a mission-driven organisation during a pivotal 12-month period of modernisation and compliance improvement.
Working as the "right-hand" support to the HR Manager and a very personable CEO, you won’t just be "processing paperwork”, you will be playing a vital role in transforming their HR service.
Our client has an ambitious 12-month plan. You will be the "engine room" supporting the HR Manager with a major service refresh, including:
* Policy Consolidation: Assisting in the review of a library of 200+ policies to ensure they are streamlined, compliant, and reflect current UK employment law.
* Compliance Audit: Undertaking the "heavy lifting" of a full staff file audit to ensure all documentation and professional registrations are 100% accurate.
* Employee Life Cycle: Owning the "cradle-to-grave" admin,from drafting job adverts and managing DBS checks to coordinating inductions and exit interviews.
* Front-line Advice: Acting as the first point of contact for managers on absence, performance, and basic HR casework (disciplinaries/grievances).
Why this role stands out:
* Work-Life Balance: A stable 22.5-hour week within a supportive, "open-door" culture.
* The Environment: Excellent on-site facilities including a canteen, free parking, and a Simplyhealth cash plan.
* Autonomy: You will be trusted to work independently and take real ownership of your workload.
Who we are looking for: We need a "self-starter." Whether you are CIPD Level 3 qualified or have equivalent work experience in a high-level admin or HR role, we want to hear from you. You will need a "quality-first" mindset, the ability to handle sensitive information with total discretion, and the "grit" to tackle a large-scale filing and process refresh.
