Join a consultancy that’s flipping boring HR on its head.
At Lilac HR, we don’t do beige. We’re a bold, straight-talking HR consultancy that supports small businesses (especially in niche sectors like equestrian, rural, and beyond) with the kind of HR that’s practical, progressive, and genuinely people-first. Now, we’re looking for a HR Administrator to join our growing team—someone who’s as organised as they are unafraid to challenge the status quo. This isn’t your average admin job. You’ll be in the thick of it: working closely with our HR Advisers, supporting clients, keeping us running like a dream, and playing a key part in how we do HR differently.
What you’ll be doing
- HR Operations
- Draft, proofread, and format employment contracts, letters, policies, and handbooks
- Assist in preparing for disciplinary, grievance or performance meetings (e.g. scheduling, note-taking, document collation)
- Support with low level ER case management where appropriate
- Become the Breathe HR champion, supporting clients with set up and management of their HR system
- Support client recruitment activity from drafting job adverts to screening candidates using our ATS
- Client Management
- Manage and maintain client information in our databases, ensuring we have access to the correct details at all times
- Support the client onboarding and offboarding processes (e.g. contracts, invoices and ordering client gifts)
- Complete monthly client usage reports both in ClickUp and in Breathe HR
- Distribute client statements each month, chasing payments where appropriate
- Support the creation of the monthly client newsletter
- General Administration
- Monitor shared inboxes, respond to admin-related client queries promptly and professionally and log ER cases for HR Advisers
- Take and triage phone calls for the wider team
- Assist in internal projects or process improvements that streamline how we deliver support
- Collaborate with the wider team to ensure an exceptional client experience at every step
You’ll thrive here if you
- Have experience in admin, ideally HR or professional services
- Are super-organised, detail-driven, and genuinely enjoy supporting others
- Communicate clearly and confidently—both in writing and in person
- Aren’t afraid of systems and tech (Google Drive, ClickUp, Breathe HR —if you don’t know it yet, you’ll learn)
- Can juggle tasks, manage time, and keep calm when things get busy
- Are up for learning, growing, and doing HR in a way that actually helps people
What you’ll get
- A gorgeous office to work from
- Flexibility and autonomy - because trust is baked into how we work
- A no-politics culture where your ideas are heard and your work is valued
- The opportunity to learn and grow in a fast-moving consultancy
- A supportive, no-drama team who’ve got your back
- Opportunities to earn more by bringing clients in to the business
- Real exposure to all things HR—ideal if you’re looking to develop a long-term career in the field
