A growing ICT company with a lean, fast-paced structure is looking for a sharp, detail-driven HR Assistant to support their HR function. The organisation is structured, process-led, and ISO certified, which means that everything is documented, filed correctly, and done properly. This is a team that moves with speed and purpose, and they believe deeply that their people are the heart of what makes the business work. The culture is professional but human, and there is genuine investment in the growth and development of employees through training, upskilling, and a supportive working environment.

The HR Assistant will work closely with the HR Manager to ensure that all HR records, processes, documentation, and coordination tasks are completed to a high standard and are always audit-ready. This is not a passive role. The successful candidate will be expected to take initiative, follow tasks through to completion, and keep the HR function running smoothly behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
