HR Assistant

Who we are

NUS Charity is an exciting membership organisation developing and championing strong students’ unions. We connect our members and curate services to deliver advice, guidance and crisis support to students’ unions. We do professional differently. We are a progressive charity representing students’ unions across the UK. The sector is inclusive, fun, dynamic and representative and we put students and students’ unions at the heart of everything we do. We are challenging but are committed to creating a supportive and flexible environment which pushes your personal development in your everyday activity.

What we do

Students’ unions can be transformational hubs for students, staff, and wider society. NUS Charity supports our members’ development to enhance their capacity and harness opportunities to maximise their positive impact. We do this in many ways, from managing a purchasing consortium to drive great value for our members, to our development activity, supporting the best potential in students’ unions - we strive to make a difference to our members.

If you are successful in your application you will deal with the full range of generalist HR work. We support the organisation’s people-related needs across the full employee life cycle: helping managers with recruitment, onboarding new starters, and general employee relations matters such as sickness absence. The team is responsible for maintaining an accurate and complete HR System to ensure that payroll is accurate.

What we need

As our HR Assistant, you will play a vital role in supporting the day-to-day operations of our team. You will be responsible for a wide range of HR administrative tasks, ensuring smooth and efficient HR processes, and providing excellent customer service to our employees. This is a great opportunity for someone who is passionate about HR. You should have experience of working within a generalist HR environment and be comfortable working with HR systems to manage HR and Payroll records, Learning & Development activity and Recruitment & Selection work.

You will be the first point of contact for HR queries and provide general administrative support to the team. You will administer our established HR systems, such as Natural HR/Moorepay for HR records. You will be working with WorkRite (our mandatory training system) and Hireful (our Recruitment & Selection Applicant Tracking System and onboarding).

You can either do this role from our Stockport office or hybrid based partly in Stockport and partly at home.
