Join the Northern Diver Team
At Northern Diver (International) Ltd, we’ve been designing and manufacturing world-class diving, rescue and specialist equipment since 1985. We’re a British manufacturer with customers around the world, but at heart, we’re a close-knit team that takes pride in what we do.
We’re looking for a HSE & HR Admin Assistant to join our team at our Appley Bridge headquarters.
This is a varied role for someone who is highly organised, quick to learn and confident working independently. You’ll support our Quality, Health & Safety and HR Manager across a wide range of administrative responsibilities, helping to keep our people, processes and records organised and running smoothly.
You don’t necessarily need previous HR or HSE experience. What matters most is finding the right person — someone with a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and the ability to take a task and see it through.
What You'll Be Doing
Every day brings something different. Your responsibilities will include:
- Maintaining accurate databases, records and documentation.
- Managing employee training records and coordinating refresher training when required.
- Maintaining digital employee records, paperwork and contractual changes.
- Supporting new employee onboarding, including legally compliant Right to Work checks.
- Preparing and issuing offer letters, contracts and other employment documentation.
- Creating and updating job specifications for new and existing roles.
- Supporting recruitment, including obtaining references and attending interviews to take notes.
- Conducting new starter induction tours around our site.
- Assisting with reports and administrative tasks across the Quality, Engineering, HSE and HR teams.
- Taking ownership of ad hoc projects and administrative tasks as they arise.
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.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a capable, people-focused individual who can manage their own workload and use their initiative.
You’ll ideally be:
- Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail.
- A quick learner who is confident picking up new systems and processes.
- Self-motivated and able to manage multiple priorities.
- A confident communicator who enjoys working with people.
- Friendly, approachable and able to build positive working relationships.
- Comfortable using Microsoft Word and Excel. Calm, methodical and accurate when working under pressure.
- Trustworthy and able to handle confidential information with discretion and integrity.
- A positive team player who takes pride in their work.
Experience in HR, HSE or administration would be an advantage, but it’s not essential. We’re much more interested in finding the right person with the right attitude, work ethic and ability to learn.
If you’re ready to take on a varied role where you can learn, develop and make a real contribution, we’d love to hear from you.
