HR Assistant Manager –Financial Services
6 month contract
City based (Hybrid)
To £65,000
Join one of the UK's Fastest-Growing Banks
Our client is a rapidly growing financial services leader, scaling up in the UK and Europe.
We are seeking an experienced HR professional to join this fast-paced, regulated financial services environment. This role requires someone with strong exposure to the full employee lifecycle, excellent HR advisory capability, and a thorough understanding of UK employment law and internal governance requirements. The successful candidate will bring a balanced approach to strategic HR priorities and day-to-day operational delivery, ensuring accurate, compliant, and people-focused support across the business.
In this position, you will provide clear, pragmatic HR advice to managers, leading on a wide range of employee relations matters including investigations, disciplinary and grievance processes, and informal conflict resolution. You will oversee payroll accuracy and approvals across multiple locations, manage benefits administration, and take responsibility for the annual Fitness and Propriety certification process for Senior Managers and Certified staff under SMCR. The role will also involve supporting and developing HR Assistants, coordinating employee engagement and wellbeing initiatives, and partnering with managers to identify development needs and align training with performance outcomes.
You will play a key role in ensuring HR policies, procedures, and workflows remain compliant with GDPR and current legislation, working with legal advisers where necessary on complex cases. Additionally, you will contribute to the delivery of HR projects aligned with continuous improvement objectives and provide operational cover for other HR team members when required.
We are looking for someone who builds trust quickly and communicates with clarity and confidence at all levels. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong judgement, credibility, and the ability to influence decisions while maintaining integrity and a people-first perspective. You should be highly organised, proactive, and comfortable working under pressure, bringing energy, enthusiasm, and a solutions-focused mindset to every challenge.
To succeed in this role, you will need to be CIPD-qualified at Level 5 or 7 (or hold Associate or Chartered Membership), with four to five years of experience at HR Advisor or HR Manager level. A solid understanding of payroll processes, UK employment law, ACAS guidance, and HR best practice is essential, alongside the ability to handle sensitive information with the highest levels of confidentiality and discretion. Strong Excel and Word skills are also required.
Experience within the financial services sector is highly desirable, as is familiarity with French or Dubai employment law and payroll regulations.
If you are a committed, collaborative HR professional looking to make a meaningful impact in a growing financial services organisation, we would welcome your application.
