• Supporting with bonus scheme administration and payroll timesheet processing for US hourly workers.
• Generating and presenting HR reports using Iris Staffology.
• Assisting with general administrative tasks such as tracking sickness absence, managing holiday bookings, organising company events, and supporting occupational health alongside more general office administration.

• A sociable and inclusive team environment, with regular updates from leadership and staff engagement activities.
