Job Title: HR Administrator
Location: Stevenage, Hertfordshire; hybrid working
Salary: Up to £24,500 per annum
Job type: Permanent, Full-time
Beststart HR supports businesses spanning the country with all their HR needs specifically tailored to their business and industry. We predominantly work with companies with 30-250 employees across a wide range of industries.
HR consultancy offers the ideal environment to develop and master human resources skills. Unlike in-house HR roles, the array of client challenges from many different industries regularly draws on skills from all the HR disciplines. Consequently, experience of challenging situations is built up at a quicker pace.
Beststart is a welcoming and hardworking team of professionals. Our Consultants and Administrators have the drive to provide the best and often innovative HR solutions. We realise our workplace is fast paced, requiring passion, dedication and energy. We are serious about our team’s welfare and, so, in addition to competitive salaries, benefits and their 28-day statutory holiday entitlement, all Beststart employees receive up to a further 11 Wellbeing Days to enjoy off work, which covers our Christmas closure and ensures the team have one long weekend every month.
The Role:
Beststart has more than one opening for individuals looking to enter human resources with a desire to master the breadth of HR disciplines. We provide structured training and a clear career framework all the way to Senior HR Consultant.
Our HR Administrators learn quickly from shadowing and supporting our seasoned consultants, seeing HR implemented with a commercial mindset. They work with our HR Consultants supporting them on larger consultancy projects and retained services. In addition, they will have direct client contact and, once up and running, a degree of autonomy with responsibility for their own HR Admin clients. Alongside learning and developing first class HR skills, they will be exposed to and learn consultancy skills including pitching, account management and managing client relationships.
Our HR Administrators work from our modern office in Stevenage, their homes and on our client sites. We have a hybrid working pattern; however, being flexible and able to work across all these locations is essential to enable us to keep our team dynamics. The travel to client premises may involve regular commuting to locations that are usually within 1.5 hours of Stevenage but may, from time to time and for the limited period of a particular project, be further afield or include overnight stays.
