HR Systems Administrator at Linnworks, Chichester, £Contract Rate

Your Mission

We're looking for a hands-on HR Administrator or HR Systems Specialist to join our People Team on a short-term contract and help us get Personio fully operational before the end of Q2.

The strategic design is done — this role is all about execution. You'll be the engine room of our Personio implementation: auditing, cleansing, and migrating employee data; building and configuring lifecycle workflows; and ensuring our records are GDPR-compliant. This is a focused, high-output engagement with clear deliverables and a clean handover at the end.

What you'll be doing

• Auditing all employee records in Personio and Google Drive, identifying gaps, duplicates, and non-compliant data
• Bulk cleansing and uploading employee data until Personio is our sole active source of truth
• Building and configuring end-to-end lifecycle workflows eg onboarding, offboarding, contract changes, and probation
• Setting up automation rules, triggers, and notification flows to reduce manual HR tasks
• Conducting a GDPR data retention audit and removing or flagging non-compliant historical records
• Decommissioning legacy HR storage
• Producing a workflow user guide and a final delivery report for handover

What You'll Bring To The Role

Essential:

• Proven, hands-on Personio experience — specifically workflow configuration, automation rules, and data management
• Strong data hygiene instincts: methodical, accurate, and thorough when auditing and cleansing records
• Working knowledge of GDPR as it applies to HR data and document retention
• High proficiency with Google Workspace (Drive, Sheets, Docs)
• Able to work autonomously and flag blockers proactively
• Available to start 9 June 2026

Nice to have:

• Experience migrating data between HR systems and decommissioning legacy storage
• Previous interim or contract experience in a scaling business
• Familiarity with HRIS best practice for SME organisations

Why us?

• Engagement type: Day rate contract, outside IR35
• Duration: 6 weeks (possible extension to 8 weeks)
• Start date: 9 June 2026
• Hours: Full-time equivalent (5 days/week)
• Location: Remote but UK based required
