The Opportunity
This is a busy, hands-on role at the heart of the People team, providing essential support across a broad range of HR processes and activities.
While the role offers exposure to various aspects of HR, its primary focus is on administration, coordination and employee support. The successful candidate will play an important role in ensuring HR processes run smoothly, records are maintained accurately, and employees receive a high standard of support and service.
This opportunity would suit someone who enjoys organisation, working with detail, managing multiple priorities and being the person colleagues can rely on to keep things running efficiently.

The successful candidate will demonstrate:
-
Experience within an administrative, coordination or HR support role
-
Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail

Why Join Murgitroyd?
Murgitroyd offers the opportunity to join a respected international organisation while still benefiting from the support and accessibility of a close-knit team. The People team plays a visible and trusted role across the business, supporting colleagues throughout the UK and Europe and working closely with leaders to ensure an excellent employee experience.
Culture was a recurring theme throughout our discussions with the business. This is a team that works collaboratively, communicates openly and genuinely enjoys supporting one another. There is a strong sense of trust within the team, regular opportunities to share ideas and a willingness to help colleagues whenever needed. Employees are encouraged to get involved in wider initiatives across the business, including wellbeing, ESG and employee engagement activities, giving people the opportunity to contribute beyond their day-to-day responsibilities.
This is a role that places real value on organisation, accuracy and customer service. While there is exposure to a broad range of HR activities, the position is primarily focused on administration, coordination and employee support rather than strategic HR or employee relations work. It is therefore ideally suited to someone who enjoys being at the centre of operations, managing multiple priorities and ensuring people processes run efficiently.
