Great news! We have a fantastic opportunity for a People & Culture Co-ordinator to join our People & Culture (HR) Team. This is a full time permanent role, based in Leeds, reporting directly to the Head of People & Culture.

We’re on the lookout for a detail driven co-ordinator who’s passionate about creating a great employee experience from start to finish. In this role, you’ll be at the heart of our People & Culture team – providing fast, accurate and proactive support to both our employees and external partners.

You’ll take ownership of key moments across the entire employee journey – from attracting and recruiting top talent, right through to ensuring smooth leaver and offboarding experiences. If you love keeping things running seamlessly and enjoy making a real impact on people’s working lives, this is the perfect opportunity for you!

As a global, family run business our culture is really important to us. All of our employees are inspired and motivated to create a competitive advantage in the market place for our customers and consumers, whilst having fun at the same time!

A career at Dr. Oetker will provide you with:  

• Make an impact across the employee journey – Play a key role in every stage of the employee life cycle; from attracting top talent and delivering engaging onboarding experiences, to keeping our People & Culture systems running smoothly, supporting learning and development, and ensuring great experiences when employees move on.
• Grow your career with us – Develop your HR expertise by building policy knowledge, taking ownership of key processes such as absence management, and expanding your skills in a hands-on, fast-paced environment.
• Join a supportive, people focussed team – Be part of a collaborative People & Culture function that values creativity, celebrates success and genuinely enjoys making a difference to our employees every day.

WHAT YOU BRING
