Description
We’re looking for an organised & proactive People Operations Advisor who is a multi-tasking whizz. Based in our Barbican office, working in our important people team. You will spin many plates in this role and build relationships with every team in the business, ensuring our new teammates have the best onboarding when they join.
You'll play a pivotal role in owning and delivering all HR employee administration, related to the end-to-end employee lifecycle. Focussing on enhancing the employee experience and processes, as well as supporting employees & managers to ensure a high-quality service. There’s a lot of data collection and reporting involved too - it’s how we keep improving our onboarding and offboarding processes.
You’ll have experience at least 3 years' experience operating in a similar role and be confident managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Experience delivering payroll, maintaining employee records, collating employee surveys and various admin duties will be beneficial. Our teammates are important to us and we’re looking fora go getter who gets tasks done with the utmost care and attention to detail!
Ours is a high-performance culture. High performance in this role is being on the ball, organised, and totally reliable. You’ll be a multi-tasking guru and be able to stay calm under pressure while deadlines and requests come at you from all directions. Most importantly, you’ll love building relationships and be discreet with handling confidential data.
This is a culture where you’ll be giving and getting feedback from day one, because we think it’s the fastest way to learn and to build trust. We want to be challenged by you, too– we hate unnecessary hierarchy and “my way or the highway” has no place here.
So, if you’re diligent and have an eye for detail apply now!
Mount Anvil
What we do: We’ve worked in partnership for 31 years to create outstanding places in London. We’re growing, with our construction turnover doubling, and with a pipeline of new projects where we’re raring to get started and make a difference.
Why we’re here: We’re here to pursue better, differently.
Better: One of The Sunday Times’ “100 Best Small Companies to Work For” for over a decade, winner of multiple Pride In The Job and WhatHouse awards for our people and the quality of our homes, and proud to have the nation’s best site in our ranks (winning the highest possible marks across the Considerate Constructors Scheme’s five areas – the first site ever to do so in 22 years of the CCS).
Differently: Our culture is unusual. Different means more transparent with information. More direct with feedback that helps us all grow. More rigorous about setting goals, then giving more freedom to go and achieve them. It’s definitely not for everyone. We don’t hire know-it-alls, we hire “learn-it-alls”. As our CEO, Killian, says: “We work hard to find people who thrive on context and responsibility, rather than rules and procedures. We then work like owner managers, not a leader and a load of helpers.”
Benefits:
Private medical insurance for you through Vitality (including discounts on spa breaks, cinema tickets and your food shopping, free Starbucks, 50% off Virgin Active Membership and more).
Income Protection Insurance to help you cope financially if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, Life Assurance equivalent to four times your salary, 25 days annual leave & Bank Holidays, enhanced maternity and paternity leave and workplace nursery salary sacrifice, allowing you to save tax and NI on monthly nursery fees.
We think the best benefit of being here is the learning culture and the ability to make a real difference – we dislike hierarchy and politics, and “not my job” isn’t in our vernacular. Which means if you really care about raising the bar and really want to feel connected to the end product, as opposed to like a cog in a big machine, this could be the place for you to grow your career.
Benefits
- health insurance
- parental leave
About this role
Mount Anvil's People Operations Advisor role is the operational backbone of their people team, based at their Barbican office. You'll own the full employee lifecycle—from seamless onboarding through to offboarding—while managing payroll, employee records, surveys, and the data collection that drives continuous improvement in their processes. This is genuinely multi-faceted work: you'll build relationships across every department, support both employees and managers, and keep everything running with meticulous attention to detail.
The role demands at least three years in a similar position and the ability to juggle competing priorities without losing your grip. You'll need to stay composed when requests come from all directions, handle confidential information with discretion, and bring real care to every task. Mount Anvil explicitly values people who are organised, reliable, and genuinely interested in building relationships—not those who need rigid procedures or hierarchy to function.
This is a company that's grown significantly (construction turnover has doubled) and has been named one of The Sunday Times' 100 Best Small Companies to Work For for over a decade. They've built an unusual culture around transparency, direct feedback, and giving people context and responsibility rather than rules. If you thrive on that kind of environment and want to make a tangible difference rather than feel like a cog, the learning culture here could be genuinely valuable for your career.
