HR Coordinator
Help keep our people information accurate and our business moving
We’re looking for an organised, detail-focused HR Coordinator who takes pride in getting things right and providing helpful support to employees and managers.
Reporting to the HR Business Partner, you’ll support a busy transport business where accurate employee information and current compliance records matter every day. A key focus will be maintaining our HRIS, BambooHR and ensuring the documentation behind each employee record is complete, correct and up to date.
About the role
You’ll work closely with our People and Culture team, Recruitment, Payroll and depot teams to coordinate HR administration throughout the employee lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Maintaining accurate HRIS data and checking changes against approved employment documents.
- Preparing employment agreements, variations and letters using approved templates.
- Keeping employee files complete, organised and easy for authorised users to access.

- Tracking expiry dates, following up missing documentation and escalating concerns promptly.
- Coordinating onboarding, employment changes and offboarding.
- Providing Payroll with accurate, approved information within agreed deadlines.
- Supporting recruitment, training, performance reviews and HR reporting.
- Responding to routine HR enquiries and helping managers navigate our processes.
You’ll also help identify practical improvements that reduce duplication and make our processes easier for the people who use them.
About you
You understand that good HR coordination means checking the details, asking questions when something is unclear and following matters through to completion.
You’ll bring:
- Experience in HR administration or coordination.
- Strong attention to detail and a systematic approach to checking data and documents.
- Confidence using an HRIS, Microsoft 365 and Excel.
- The ability to manage competing priorities and keep others informed of progress.
- Clear communication skills and a helpful, practical approach to supporting the business.
