Human Resources Intern

What you'll do

• —Run onboarding for new joiners: paperwork, accounts, the first-week plan
• —Keep employee records and trackers accurate and up to date
• —Answer the routine questions people bring to HR, and know which ones to escalate
• —Coordinate interviews, inductions and internal sessions
• —Pull together simple reports on headcount, attendance and joining status
• —Help run engagement activities without them quietly becoming your whole job

What success looks like

• —By 90 days: trusted with a process of your own from start to finish
• —By 90 days: fixed one thing about how we do it that was quietly wasting time

What we're looking for

• —Written communication — writes a short, clear message a candidate or a hiring manager can act on without needing a reply

• —Fairness and policy awareness — notices a question or a criterion that should not be used, and says so
• —Learning speed — picks up something unfamiliar quickly and can say how they went about it

Helpful, but not required
