The Vacancy
Join Inspire North as a People Assistant!
Ready to be the person behind the people?
Love organisation, clarity and making things run smoothly? Enjoy helping others feel supported, welcomed and confident from day one? Then this might be your kind of role.
At Inspire North, our People Team plays a huge part in making sure colleagues feel valued, informed and cared for – so they can do their best work supporting communities across the North. We’re now looking for a People Assistant to join us and help deliver a warm, effective and values‑led employee experience.
This is a varied, hands‑on role where no two days are quite the same. You’ll be at the heart of our People operations – keeping things organised, responding to questions, supporting managers and employees, and making sure our processes are smooth, compliant and genuinely human.
If you’re curious, proactive and take pride in doing things properly (and kindly), we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll be getting stuck into
You’ll keep our People operations running smoothly, providing friendly, reliable support to colleagues, managers and candidates across Inspire North. You’ll lead on recruitment administration and onboarding, manage People systems and records, and respond to day‑to‑day queries with care and professionalism. Alongside this, you’ll support People initiatives and improvements that make working here feel simple, supportive and genuinely human.
What Makes You Our Kind of Person:
You don’t need to know everything on day one – we’ll support your learning – but you’ll thrive in this role if you:
- Have experience in an administrative or People/HR support role (or transferable experience you’re keen to build on).
- Are highly organised, detail‑focused and comfortable juggling priorities.
- Communicate clearly and kindly, whether by email, phone or face‑to‑face.
- Handle sensitive information with discretion, professionalism and care.
- Can work confidently with systems, data and digital tools.
Why Join Us?
At Inspire North, we know that when people feel supported, appreciated and encouraged to be themselves, they can do amazing things – and we want you to be part of that.
Here’s what you’ll enjoy as part of our team:
- Flexible working options so you can balance life and work in a way that genuinely works for you.
- Hybrid working – enjoy the best of both worlds!
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 30 days with service – because rest matters.
- Loads of learning and career development opportunities, including paid and personalised training to help you grow.
- Free, confidential Employee Assistance Programme 24/7,including counselling and GP services – your wellbeing comes first.
- Employer contributory pension scheme to help secure your future.
- Great maternity, paternity and adoption benefits to support you and your family.
- Exclusive care workers discounts to make everyday life that bit easier.
- Active Employee Networks including People of Colour, LGBT+, Mental Health and Accessibility – because everyone deserves to belong.
- Health and wellbeing initiatives to help you feel your best, inside and out.
- Cycle to Work Scheme to keep you moving and support greener choices.
- Corporate Health Plan to support your physical and mental health.
