What we are looking for?

We’re looking for an organised and people-focused HR Administrator to play a key role in supporting our day-to-day HR operations. You’ll be working closely with our HR Manager and wider team to help ensure everyone at J&B Hopkins feels welcomed, valued, and supported.

• Manage employee changes such as promotions, salary adjustments, and leavers.
• Act as a first point of contact for employee HR queries.
• Support wellbeing initiatives and engagement activities.
• Assist the HR team in employee relations matters.
• Help ensure compliance with UK employment law and company policies.
• Support the coordination of training and development programmes.
• Provide general admin support across all HR activities.

Skills & Experience:

In a nutshell

At Hopkins, our purpose is to always deliver high levels of customer service and industry knowledge. Our vision is to self-deliver our sustainable projects from design through the installation period and then to maintain the buildings, ensuring they operate to the original design principles. To achieve both, we have built a team of dedicated, innovative and creative people.

As we continue to grow our network and expand our team across the south of the UK, with hubs already in Hampshire, East Sussex and Thames Valley, we are looking to further our reach and continue to deliver great service and innovative projects to our growing client base.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a progressive business who invest in people.

We also offer a host of benefits across our business, including

• Flexible Holiday Scheme
• Onsite Gym
• Flexible Working
• Staff Social Events
• Time off to commit to charity work and good causes
• Private Medical Insurance
• Life Insurance
• Company Contribution towards Eye Welfare
