Thame, Oxfordshire, Hybrid working available | £36,000 - £40,000 + Excellent Benefits

Reed HR are delighted to be partnering with a well-established and growing organisation in Oxfordshire to recruit an HR & Recruitment Advisor. This is a fantastic opportunity for an HR professional who enjoys a varied generalist role, with a strong focus on recruitment, employee support, and continuous improvement.

This position would suit someone with previous experience in an HR Advisor, HR Coordinator or similar role who is looking to further develop their HR career within a supportive and collaborative environment.

The Role

Reporting into the HR Manager, you'll play a key role in supporting managers and employees across the business, providing practical HR guidance while managing the end-to-end recruitment process and contributing to a range of people initiatives.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Managing the full recruitment lifecycle, from vacancy briefing through to offer and onboarding
  • Coordinating and conducting interviews and selection processes
  • Supporting all aspects of new starter administration, including pre-employment checks and right to work documentation
  • Maintaining accurate employee records and HR data
  • Providing first-line advice and support to managers and employees on HR policies and procedures

  • Experience maintaining HR systems and employee records

A CIPD Level 5 qualification, or a desire to work towards one, would be advantageous but is not essential.
