• Right to Work & Immigration: Conduct compliant UK Right to Work checks and support visa and immigration processes, working with overseas group companies, advisors and relevant authorities where required.
• HR Administration & Employee Support: Act as a first point of contact for new starters, visitors and agency workers; support inductions, IT access and medical processes; maintain accurate HR records; manage HR inboxes and correspondence; and ensure confidentiality and GDPR compliance at all times.
