Summary
An enthusiastic and diligent Human Resources Advisor with over 3 years experience. A high volume workload involved compliance, and payroll thus requiring good time management. A proven track record of managing end to end logistics for onboarding new staff members and processing leavers. Reliable organisation of recruitment days, wellbeing weeks and professional development days. Confident in working in a team and training others. I am passionate about transitioning into Events Coordination and believe my skills and abilities can be adapted to fit the needs of this role.
