Are you an experienced HR Officer looking for a part-time role where you can still have real impact and ownership?

We’re looking for a Part-Time HR Officer to join a friendly, supportive HR team in Leicester on a job-share basis. This is a hands-on HR Officer role covering day-to-day HR administration, employee lifecycle and first-line HR support to managers and staff.

This opportunity would suit an HR Officer or HR Administrator who enjoys being a trusted point of contact, wants variety in their day, and is looking for a permanent, part-time position (Wednesday to Friday).

The Role – HR Officer (Part-Time)

As HR Officer, you will:

• Prepare and maintain HR documentation, including contracts, offer letters and HR correspondence.

• Support the end-to-end recruitment process – posting adverts, arranging interviews, issuing offer paperwork and updating records.

• Carry out new starter inductions and ensure personnel files and HR systems are accurate and up to date.

• Provide day-to-day HR administration support to Directors and managers – absence management, basic payroll queries and employee relations paperwork.

• Liaise with external HR advisers/consultants to ensure all HR activity is legally compliant.

• Attend and support disciplinary and grievance meetings (note-taking and admin support).

• Monitor and update HR records such as sickness, absence, maternity/paternity, probation and pensions.

• Assist with HR reporting and ad hoc HR projects, supporting continuous improvement in the HR function.

About You – HR Officer Profile

We’re looking for a HR Officer who can bring:

• Previous experience as an HR Officer, HR Coordinator, HR Administrator or similar HR role.

• Strong organisation and administrative skills, with excellent attention to detail.

• Confident communication skills – able to deal professionally with confidential and sensitive HR issues.

• Good IT skills – competent with Microsoft Office and comfortable using HR / people systems.

• Practical understanding of HR processes across recruitment, onboarding, absence, HR documentation and basic ER.

A CIPD qualification is not essential – we’re more interested in solid, hands-on HR Officer / HR admin experience.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive pro-rata salary – £19,872.

• 21 hours per week, Wednesday to Friday – ideal for work–life balance.

• Permanent, part-time HR Officer position with long-term stability.

• 28 days holiday (pro rata, including bank holidays), increasing with service.

• Three additional customary days at Christmas.

• Friendly, supportive working environment with a close-knit team.
