The Role

Are you looking for a standalone HR role where you can take the lead and make a genuine impact?

Our client seeks a capable and proactive HR Generalist to take full responsibility for HR and payroll across the business. Reporting directly to the Finance Director, who brings strong payroll expertise and will offer guidance where needed, you ll become an integral part of a collaborative, supportive, and welcoming team.

This part-time role is office-based and offered at approximately 25 hours per week, with flexibility on how those hours are worked. For the right person, there is scope to adjust this slightly based on individual needs.

• Processing the UK payroll in-house using Sage Payroll (training available if required).

The Candidate

The ideal candidate will be CIPD qualified and bring solid generalist HR experience. While experience in payroll is desirable, full training will be provided for someone eager to develop this skill.
