About Us:

We’re a UK-based digital healthcare company with ambitious goals and a strong footprint in education and workplace support, local authority social care teams and NHS trusts. We deliver a combination of human and technological support to end users with a range of needs, including many who are autistic or who have neurological differences or mental health challenges. As a rapidly scaling business, our ultimate aim is to change the way support is delivered with an overall purpose to make the world a fairer more accessible place.

About you:

We’re seeking an agile and capable HR Administrator, who already has some experience from a similar role to join our team. The successful candidate will be the first port of call for all day-to-day HR/People enquiries, updating our HR systems and providing documentation support aligned with our business activities. This is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative and innovative People team at a pivotal stage of organisational development. We value proactive problem-solvers who thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, and tech-based environment.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll be providing excellent administrative support, drafting and issuing company correspondence and updating our internal systems with timely and accurate information. Whilst there is a daily focus on administration, there will be some opportunities to work on high-impact projects like infrastructure design and policy development. Depending on your experience, you may also be able to pick up lower-level case work and some business partnering responsibilities. We are keen to give opportunities for learning and development where it's possible.

Your responsibilities:

• Be the first point of contact for anyone needing support from the People team, either via our HR inbox, or through direct interactions.

• Support hiring managers with all areas of recruitment and selection.

• Issue documentation as needed, including job offers, contract amendments etc.

• Take a lead on delivering our onboarding journey.

• Become a super user of our HRIS system and maintain the information held within it.

• Update the finance team on any changes affecting payroll.

• Provide the business with People related data and information.

• Provide support to the wider team on employee relations cases (e.g. capability, grievance & disciplinary).

• Manage our DBS/Safeguarding and Training administration.

• Contribute to the continual review and improvement of our internal HR processes and systems.

• Ensure a professional, friendly and responsive service to the business.

What you’ll bring to Brain in Hand:

We’d love someone to come on board who brings these skills and experiences to complement our talented team:

• Experience working within a fast paced / scale up organisation.

• Experience working within a HR / People dedicated team.

• A good understanding of the basic employment law principles.

• Some experience advising employees and managers on process and policies.

• A ‘can-do’ attitude and willingness to support colleagues and go the extra mile.

• Excellent systems, administration and organisational skills.

• Good professional boundaries and ability to handle sensitive and confidential information.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• CIPD Qualification preferred but not essential. 

What success looks like in this role:

• Administering our processes in an accurate and timely manner

• Continual improvements to our administrative processes are implemented 

• Positive feedback from key stakeholders and points of contact

What you can expect:

We’re scaling fast, we work at pace and we work hard. We actively support our colleagues to relish the pace, challenge and ambition of Brain in Hand, so you can expect:

• A 9-day working fortnight, with every 2nd Friday focused on you, for you, to do what you need to support your well-being.

• A values driven, supportive and collaborative team culture.

• Opportunity to shape the future of Brain in Hand through regular colleague consultation and feedback.

• A competitive salary and pension.

• 33 days leave annually (incl. bank holidays).

• Support for professional and personal development.

• Involvement in various internal groups and events like ‘Brew Mondays’ and our employee support groups.

Where you’ll work:

We trust our teams to work remotely, from anywhere in the UK. That said, the People meet weekly, in Exeter to collaborate and support one another so you’ll need to be willing to travel and join us. There might be times when you’ll need to travel to other UK locations for meetings or events but these will be planned ahead of time.

Salary:

£25-28,000 per annum depending on experience

Contract:

Fixed term 1 year, with potential to become permanent

Hours:

40 hours per week, Monday to Friday

How to apply:

We welcome and celebrate people from diverse background. We value your personal principals and cultural fit within our teams. If you think you’re right for a role but you’re worried about lacking some experience or skills, we still want to hear from you.

We look carefully at all applications to find the right candidate. Our teams are diverse in age, gender, nationality, religion and beliefs, and we strongly support neurodiversity in our teams. We’re also a disability confident employer so if you need reasonable adjustments to apply and attend interview, we’ll make those as required. We look forward to receiving your application.
