HR Officer EMEA - 18 months FTC

What do you look for in a new opportunity?

Flexibility?
Great team environment?
Professional Development?
Variety of duties?

This role covers all of the above, and lots more amazing benefits.
It is essentially a maternity cover with a business that recognises the importance of consistency and fluency, therefore they are not looking for someone to just cover the 9 month typical maternity period. They are keen to make sure that there is time before and after to make sure everything is passed over properly to avoid disruption. And who knows, there may be an opportunity to extend the contract at the end of the 18 month term, although there is no guarantee at this stage.
As the HR Officer you will take ownership of administration and operations tasks associated with the entire employee lifecycle. As part of the HR EMEA team, you will be responsible for providing general support to the senior HR member and ensures that administration of all components linked to the Human Resources department and the employees are up to date on a day-to-day basis. Additionally, you will be required to work closely with other members of the HR team based in the US to ensure transparency and a smooth running of the function.
This role is based in St. Neots, with the requirement to be in the office for a minimum 2-3 days a week.

To be considered for this position you will need

  • CIPD level 3/5 or studying towards CIPD level 5
  • Knowledge of HR functions (pay, benefits, recruitment training and L&D)
  • Relevant payroll experience, ideally working in a cross functional role as HR/Payroll Admin
  • Understanding of the UK Employment Law. Additional knowledge of the European Labor Law would be valuable.
  • Outstanding organizational and time-management abilities (ability to prioritise own workload) and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
  • An upbeat and positive attitude, collaborative spirit, and strong customer service - a "Can Do" attitude
  • Highly curious, keen to continuously broaden business experience, build and share new knowledge
  • Strong cultural awareness and sensitivity.
