HR Administrator (HR Admin Partner)

Leaman Consulting

We are working with a respected, values-led charity based in North Finchley to find a thoughtful, highly organised HR Administrator who is looking to build a meaningful, long-term role within a people-focused HR function. A return client, we have had the pleasure of recruiting for them for many years with a strong track record of happy employees!

This is not a traditional, back-office HR role. Instead, it offers the opportunity to become a trusted operational partner to an assigned HR Business Partner (who is wonderful and you will learn alot from – we know her well also) supporting a defined portfolio of teams and departments with care, accuracy and consistency.

The organisation is reshaping its HR function to be more relational, responsive and values-driven, and this role sits at the heart of that vision. It will suit someone who takes genuine pride in supporting others, thrives on structure and process, and enjoys being a calm, reliable presence in a fast-moving environment.

The Role

You will act as the operational backbone for your assigned HR portfolio, ensuring that every step of the employee lifecycle is handled with clarity, professionalism and dignity.

• Coordinating key HR processes, including issuing contracts and offer letters, processing starters and leavers, and supporting probation and induction timelines
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date employee records using CoreHR, ensuring compliance with data standards and safeguarding requirements
• Tracking and logging key checks, including DBS, right-to-work and references
• Liaising closely with Payroll to ensure all monthly changes are submitted accurately and on time
• Acting as a first point of contact for HR queries from managers, lay leaders and staff, resolving where possible and escalating appropriately
• Supporting the coordination of recruitment campaigns, appraisals, training events and employee relations processes where required
• Producing reports, trackers and documentation to support HR Business Partners and functional leads
• Providing note-taking and administrative support for employee lifecycle meetings, including maternity, flexible working and exit discussions
• Being a calm, responsive and reliable point of contact for your portfolio, offering clarity, reassurance and consistent follow-through
• Contributing to continuous improvement within the HR admin team, sharing ideas and supporting a collaborative, learning-focused culture

The Person

This role will suit someone with experience in a fast-paced HR or administrative environment who values accuracy, discretion and strong working relationships.

You will be:

• Highly organised, detail-oriented and comfortable managing multiple processes at once
• Confident using HR systems, spreadsheets and digital tools
• Naturally collaborative, with a supportive and service-minded approach
• Comfortable asking questions, flagging issues early and working in partnership with others
• Discreet, professional and trusted with sensitive and confidential information
• Ideally experienced in a values-led, charity or faith-based environment, with an appreciation for context, respect and cultural sensitivity
