Parklands Care Homes is seeking an organised and proactive HR Coordinator to join our People Team on a 12-month fixed-term maternity cover contract. Based at our Office in Buckie, you'll support the employee journey from recruitment and onboarding through to HR administration and compliance. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with HR administration or coordination experience, or an ambitious administrator looking to develop a career in HR.

The Role...

Coordinate recruitment, including advertising vacancies, arranging interviews and providing candidate feedback.
Support onboarding and maintain accurate employee records throughout the employee lifecycle.
Act as the first point of contact for HR queries, providing professional and confidential support to managers and employees.
Assist with the company's Skilled Worker Sponsorship Licence and associated compliance requirements.
Produce monthly compliance reports and support managers with follow-up actions.
Draft employment contracts, offer letters and HR correspondence.
Take minutes during interviews and formal HR meetings when required.
Support the wider HR team with projects and people initiatives.

We're looking for someone with excellent organisational and communication skills who can manage a busy workload with accuracy, professionalism and discretion. Experience in HR administration or coordination is desirable but not essential.

Be part of our dedicated central support team, with the role based in our Buckie office. A location that sits at the heart of our Parklands community, supporting our care homes across the region. You will join a friendly, passionate team committed to making a meaningful difference every day for colleagues and residents alike.
