HR Assistant | London | £30,000–£35,000
This candidate is a thoughtful and deliberate career changer, bringing maturity, credibility, and real exposure to people-sensitive work. They are currently working in an HR-related environment and are now seeking an HR Assistant role across London.
Their background combines legal training with hands-on experience in complex organisational settings. This gives them strong judgement, confidence with stakeholders, and a clear understanding of confidentiality, process, and risk.
They are currently completing a large-scale, confidential employment project linked to organisational change and redundancy activity driven by technology. The role involves detailed coordination, accurate record keeping, and careful handling of sensitive employee data. They work closely with senior stakeholders, adapt their communication style as needed, and ensure documentation remains consistent and clear.
Colleagues value their ability to ask the right questions early and identify potential issues before they escalate. This has reduced follow-up work and saved time for senior team members.
Before moving into HR-focused work, they spent several years in senior legal support roles within large, fast-paced organisations. They regularly supported heads of function and executive leaders, acting as a trusted point of contact for internal stakeholders.
Responsibilities included managing competing priorities, drafting and reviewing documentation, and supporting cross-border teams. This experience translates well into HR operations, employee relations support, and policy-led environments.
Earlier exposure to governance, data protection, training delivery, and internal communications further strengthens their fit for HR. They are comfortable handling confidential information and understand the importance of tone, timing, and clarity when dealing with people matters.
Feedback consistently highlights their professionalism, reliability, and calm approach under pressure. They are well organised, detail-focused, and seen as a supportive team member, particularly during periods of change.
This candidate is realistic and intentional about their transition into HR. They are targeting HR Assistant roles to build strong operational foundations, with plans to start their CIPD qualification in 2026 and progress into an HR Business Partner role over time.
For employers hiring at HR Assistant level, this is a candidate who offers more than core administration. They bring sound judgement, stakeholder confidence, and experience operating in complex, people-sensitive environments. London-based and open across the city, they are ready to commit and grow within an organisation.
If you are looking for an HR Assistant who will earn trust quickly and add value from day one, this profile is well worth exploring.
