Where you’ll work: Based at our Dartford campus, with occasional travel to the Gravesend / Hadlow / Tonbridge sites if required.

Your hours: 37 hours per week (Monday to Friday), 52 weeks per annum.

Your pay: £28,200 per annum.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join North Kent College as a People Resources Coordinator.

Working as part of a close-knit People team – including Director of People, Deputy Director of People, two People Business Partners, People Resourcing Manager, People & Resourcing Partner, and a second People Resources Coordinator – you’ll collaborate to deliver responsive, high-quality services across the organisation.

As a People Resources Coordinator, you’ll provide customer-focused, pragmatic support to both internal and external stakeholders. You'll work in partnership with colleagues across the People team to deliver a proactive, value-adding service to your designated business areas, building trusted relationships with staff and managers.

Highly organised and detail-oriented, you’ll ensure People processes are delivered accurately, efficiently, and in line with organisational policies, procedures, and best practice, while helping to create a positive experience for everyone you support.

This could be the role for you if you:

• Have experience in an HR Administrator or HR Assistant role and are ready to take the next step in your career, or can demonstrate transferable skills and a genuine interest in building a career in HR.
• Have a sound understanding of HR principles and employment legislation, and are confident providing first-line advice on routine People matters, such as sickness absence and certification.
• Have experience supporting end-to-end recruitment and onboarding processes, or have transferable experience coordinating high-volume, process-driven activities with accuracy and attention to detail.
• Are highly organised, IT proficient, and confident maintaining HR systems and records with a high degree of accuracy and confidentiality.
• Thrive in a collaborative, customer-focused environment, building positive working relationships while managing competing priorities effectively.

If you're a proactive team player with excellent communication and organisational skills, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to prioritise a varied workload while delivering exceptional service, we'd love to hear from you!

The benefits:

In addition to a competitive salary, you can expect the following benefits.

• 33 days’ annual leave (including Christmas / New Year break), plus bank holidays.
• Enrolment onto the People’s Pension Scheme (as part of the staff of North Kent College Business Services Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of North Kent College).
• Access to free parking and a number of onsite facilities, including gyms, restaurants and coffee shops.
