About this role
Kreston Reeves is looking for a People Administrator to cover a maternity leave period within its People Operations Team. You'd be the main point of contact for HR queries and handle the core administration that keeps the function running smoothly: onboarding and offboarding employees, managing HR system records in compliance with GDPR, producing contracts and letters, processing references, and reconciling absence data. The role also involves taking meeting minutes, supporting HR reporting, managing the company's recognition system, and assisting with broader HR projects as needed.
The ideal candidate has prior experience or genuine interest in HR administration and can manage multiple priorities without losing accuracy—detail-oriented work under pressure is central to the job. You'll need strong organisational and communication skills, competence with HR systems (Cascade or Sage experience is a plus), and solid Excel and Word proficiency. A collaborative mindset and ability to respond promptly to a busy inbox are essential.
Kreston Reeves offers a comprehensive benefits package including a competitive salary, pension, private medical insurance, and 20.5 days' holiday plus bank holidays. The hybrid arrangement—three days in the office in Horsham, two from home—is combined with flexible working policies and an Employee Assistance Programme. The firm also provides development opportunities with clear progression routes, volunteer time off, and various optional schemes including cycle-to-work and interest-free loans.
