About the Role
We are recruiting for a new HR & Learning Assistant, a pivotal role at the centre of a lively and varied HR & Learning department.
Leeds Playhouse is made up of brilliant, passionate and dedicated individuals who bring creativity, compassion and individuality to every aspect of our work. Whilst we are a medium-sized organisation, we have many unique roles and a blend of employees, casual workers, volunteers, and self-employed freelancers coming together to deliver a wide range of projects onstage and off.
This role offers an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop a career in HR & Learning. The successful candidate will gain exposure to the full employee lifecycle and will be supported to develop their professional knowledge and skills.
Responsibilities
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be providing administrative support for a wide range of HR & Learning activities with particular involvement in recruitment and onboarding; contract and changes; payroll; learning & development; and data management. The HR & Learning Assistant will also offer first-line advice and guidance to employees and managers on non-complex issues, including members of the Senior Management Team, in line with standard practice, policy and procedure. You will have the opportunity to identify and implement improvements to the ways we deliver our services.
This is a full-time, permanent contract of 35 hours a week, with working pattern to be discussed with your manager. Pay for the role is £24,800 per year. As part of our commitment to flexible working, we would also be open to applications interested in part-time work or job shares for this role. Please reach out to us if you would like to discuss this further.
