HR Coordinator

As part of Moore Kingston Smith’s business advisory offering, our growing HR Consultancy team (https://mooreks.co.uk/services/advisory/hr-consultancy/) provides HR expertise and support to clients across a wide range of industries, working collaboratively to deliver practical solutions that meet their people and business needs. We are committed to providing an excellent client experience while continuing to evolve the way we deliver our services through collaboration, technology and continuous improvement.

As a Coordinator within the HR Consultancy team, you will work across a varied portfolio of clients, each with different people, priorities, processes and HR systems. You’ll need to be comfortable balancing competing demands, adapting quickly between client environments and delivering a consistently responsive and professional service.

The scope of the role is broad, covering employee lifecycle administration, HR documentation and systems, day-to-day client and employee queries, and support with Employee Relations matters and HR projects. Working closely with HR Business Partners and Senior HR Business Partners, you’ll gain broad exposure across different organisations and HR matters, providing a great opportunity to build your HR knowledge and experience.

This is a fast-paced, client-facing role where flexibility is important. Depending on service requirements, you may work remotely, from a Moore Kingston Smith office or at client premises. Some client assignments may require you to work from a client site for several days each week, so you’ll need to be comfortable working across different locations according to client and service needs. You will be expected to work from our City office at least twice a month to connect and collaborate with the wider team.
