Ready to kick-start your career in the fast-paced world of HR?
At Buy It Direct, one of the UK's fastest-growing e-commerce businesses, we're looking for an enthusiastic, proactive and ambitious HR Coordinator to join our People Team.
This is more than just a job; it's a launchpad for your HR career. You'll gain hands-on, 360-degree experience across both HR and Payroll within a thriving commercial business, giving you real responsibility and exposure from day one.
We're committed to supporting your professional development too. We'll fully fund your CIPD qualification (Level 3 and, as you progress, Level 5 – worth up to £7k) to help you build your expertise and accelerate your career.
You'll be joining a friendly, supportive and high-energy team where your voice is heard, your ideas are valued, and your contributions play a key role in shaping a positive employee experience.
What You'll Be Doing
Helping to bring great people into the business by supporting recruitment activities, from shortlisting and arranging interviews to conducting first-stage telephone interviews.
Ensuring we make a brilliant first impression by coordinating onboarding and working with hiring managers on new starter induction plans.
Supporting with day-to-day HR and employee relations queries, with guidance and mentoring from our two HR Business Partners.
Keeping our people data accurate and useful by producing reports and maintaining key HR information.
Supporting the monthly payroll process by maintaining accurate starter, leaver and contractual change information in Sage 50.
Getting stuck into employee engagement activities and wider People Team projects that help make Buy It Direct a great place to work.
You'll Ideally Have
A natural people person with strong communication skills and the confidence to build positive relationships throughout the business.
A proactive, can-do attitude and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.
The ability to juggle multiple priorities, adapt to changing demands, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
Excellent organisational skills and a keen eye for detail – you spot the small details that make a big difference.
Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and enthusiasm for learning new systems and processes.
GCSEs (or equivalent) in English and Maths at Grade 4/C or above.
Previous experience in HR, payroll or L&D would be a bonus, but it's not essential. We're looking for someone with enthusiasm, determination, a positive attitude and a genuine desire to learn and develop.
What's In It for You?
Fully Funded CIPD Qualification – Gain your CIPD Level 3 (worth £3k) and, as you progress, the opportunity to achieve Level 5 (worth £4k).
Real Progression Opportunities – Clear, genuine opportunities to advance your career within a growing e-commerce business.
360° Exposure – Build hands-on experience across HR and Payroll, giving you a well-rounded foundation for your future career.
A Supportive Team – Join a collaborative team where your ideas are valued, your development is supported, and your contribution has a real impact.
Staff Discounts – Enjoy exclusive discounts on our product range.
Free On-Site Parking – Making your commute that little bit easier.
If you're looking to kick-start your career in HR with real development, hands-on experience and the support to succeed, we'd love to hear from you.
