Faria is a leader in international education systems & services, offering an integrated suite across learning, admissions, school-to-home, and online courses — trusted by 10,000+ schools and 4 million students across 155 countries.

We're looking for a proactive, people-first People & Talent Advisor to join our HR team based at Alderley Park (3/4 days onsite a week). You'll work closely with our Senior HR Business Partners, providing hands-on advisory support across the employee lifecycle, while also acting as the friendly, go-to face of HR in the office day-to-day.

This is a varied and global role - part HR generalist, part hiring support, part office community-builder. You'll get exposure to a broad range of complex HR work while helping keep the office running smoothly for everyone in it.

What You'll Be Doing

HR Advisory & Employee Lifecycle

• Support the Senior HR Business Partners with day-to-day HR advisory queries from managers and employees
• Manage end-to-end employment administration: contracts, offer letters, changes to terms, references, and other employment paperwork
• Take ownership for payroll processing alongside our dedicated payroll provider
• Own onboarding from offer acceptance through to first weeks - right to work checks, contracts, DBS checks, new starter setup, and a great first impression
• Manage offboarding, including exit paperwork, leaver checklists, and exit interviews where needed
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date employee records and HR systems
• Help ensure HR processes are compliant, consistent, and well-documented
• System and process improvements within our HR Systems
  
  

Hiring Support

• Help draft and post job adverts, and support shortlisting where needed
• Ensure a smooth, professional candidate experience from application to offer
• Manage DEEL (EOR’s) System
  
  

Office & Team Support

• Be the first point of contact in the office for people-related questions, big or small
• Take ownership of light office management - organising lunches, keeping snacks and drinks stocked, and generally helping the office feel like a good place to be
• Help organise or support internal events, socials, and team moments
• Spot ways to improve the day-to-day office and employee experience, and help make them happen
  

What We're Looking For

• Some experience in an HR, People, or Talent support role looking for their next challenge (HR Assistant, HR Coordinator, People Advisor, or similar)
• Experience with HiBob is preferred
• Comfortable handling confidential information with discretion and professionalism
• Highly organised, with good attention to detail - nothing falls through the cracks on your watch
• A genuinely warm, approachable manner - you're happy being the person people come to
• Confident juggling multiple priorities, from formal paperwork to last-minute lunch orders
• Good working knowledge of core UK employment practices (or willingness to learn quickly)
• A proactive, "no job too small" attitude
