Office & People Manager

Office & People Manager

?? Cardiff | ?? Full-time | ?? Up to £32,000 | Office-based preferred (hybrid considered)

Are you a proactive Office & People Manager? My client is a well-established organisation with 50+ staff and is looking for an 'office chameleon' to become the central hub of their Cardiff HQ. This is a broad, hands-on role covering office management, staff engagement, and entry-level HR administration.

This position is the go-to support touch-point - from keeping the office operating smoothly to organising events that bring the team together. They are looking for an individual who enjoys variety, can roll up their sleeves, thrives on making things happen and can really hit the ground running.

What you'll be doing:

• Front-of-house: welcome visitors, manage parcels and deliveries, answer occasional calls, act as the first point of contact for staff and contractors.
• Office operations: oversee facilities, maintenance, fire alarm testing, H&S compliance, and ensure the workplace is always at its best.
• People engagement: plan staff events and activities, coordinate charity initiatives, publish the monthly newsletter, and keep colleagues informed of updates.
• HR admin (entry-level): post job adverts, forward candidates to managers, arrange interviews, prepare offer letters, contracts, and onboarding paperwork, log absences in Breathe, and manage payroll updates (e.g. new starters, unpaid leave).
• Business support: assist with busy student enrolment periods in March and September, including light data management and occasional liaison with students.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has experience in a similar multi-faceted role - CIPD Level 3 is a bonus but not essential.
• Is organised, adaptable, and happy to juggle multiple priorities.
• Brings strong communication skills and a warm, approachable manner.
• Takes initiative, spots what needs doing, and just gets it done.

What's on offer:

• Salary £30-32,000
• Ideally 5 days in-office (4 days considered for the right candidate)
• 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
• Pension with employer contributions
• Wellbeing support and EAP access
• Continuous learning opportunities
• Social, fund-raising, and wellbeing events
• Free parking

If you're ready for a role where you'll sit at the heart of the business and truly be valued - I'd love to hear from you.
