• Act as a first point of contact for people queries, managing the shared inbox and providing support across a range of admin tasks.
• Maintain accurate employee records and ensure data is processed in line with GDPR and company policy.
• Help manage sickness, absence, and other employee data, contributing to high-quality record-keeping and reporting.
