HR & Finance Assistant

Are you highly organised with great attention to detail? Are you looking for your first step into a HR or Payroll Career?

At Connection Support, our team of staff members and volunteers work alongside people to overcome life’s challenges, with the goals of solving homelessness and achieving independence. We do this through our values of empowerment, collaboration, compassion and taking a personalised approach in all aspects of our work.

We are currently recruiting an HR & Finance Assistant to join a small, friendly team of people for this growing charity.

About the role

Working alongside the HR Advisors, you will provide support on HR processes, including onboarding, absence management, employee induction, contracts, and other paperwork.

You will also support the finance team with data entry, payroll software, and processing starters and leavers.

This is an interesting and varied role, with ample opportunity to develop and learn new skills.

This role can be worked remotely; however, you do need to be able to travel occasionally to our offices across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Milton Keynes.

The role is permanent, working 37.5 hours per week Monday – Friday.

Salary £22,675 - £25,380 per annum dependent on experience.

About you

You have at least two to three years of experience in a fast-paced office environment, and are highly proficient in Outlook, Excel, and data entry. Prior use of Sage 50 payroll and/or HR databases would be an advantage, but we will provide full training, therefore, you must be IT literate with a keen willingness to learn.

You are highly organised with excellent communication skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure. Your strong work ethic means that you have no problem doing whatever’s required to meet deadlines and support the team when needed. You are a strong team player, but can also work on your own initiative, and most importantly, like our charity, you are passionate about making a difference.

Why work for us?

We have been named as one of the top 25 charities to work for in the UK by Best Companies. The wonderful people at Connection Support are committed to supporting everyone in our society to become safely and sustainably housed, and to live as independently as possible, so you will be joining an organisation that makes a difference to its communities and will also support your development, offer extensive training, and truly value your dedication and commitment.

We also offer 30 days annual leave (pro rata for part time), plus bank holidays, sick pay, and an enhanced benefits package which includes cover on health benefits, the ability to sell a week’s annual leave, eco travel incentives, childcare discounts, retail discounts and much more.

Connection Support is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Connection Support is committed to being a proactively inclusive organisation and ensuring good EDEI practice is embedded in the workplace culture.

If you are interested in joining this amazing organisation and making a difference, then please do get in touch.

Closing date will be 12.00pm on Thursday 4th May. Interviews will be confirmed on application.
