Human Resources Coordinator

HR Coordinator

12 Month FTC

Cork

We’re on the lookout for a motivated and well-organised HR Co-ordinator to join a global logistics firm on a 12-month fixed-term contract, covering extended leave. This role is perfect if you’re keen to build on your HR career and gain hands-on experience in a busy, people-focused environment.

You’ll be based in Cork but will support HR operations across both Cork and Dublin, so travel once a month will be part of the job. From day one, you’ll play a key role in supporting the employee lifecycle and acting as the go-to person for everyday HR queries.

You’ll report directly to the Head of HR (UK based) and work closely with colleagues across different sites.

HR Administration

• Manage onboarding and offboarding — from offer letters and contracts to reference checks.
• Keep employee records up to date in our HR systems.
• Support with probation reviews, contract amendments, and leaver paperwork.
• Help coordinate reward and recognition activities.

Recruitment & Onboarding

• Assist managers with recruitment admin: posting job ads, liaising with agencies, and scheduling interviews.
• Prepare welcome packs and plan induction schedules for new hires.

HR Operations

• Be the first point of contact for employee questions, escalating when needed.
• Maintain HR trackers and pull together basic reports.

Employee Relations (Admin)

• Take minutes during HR meetings as required.
• Support employee relations processes with accurate admin work.

General HR Support

• Assist with internal communications and employee engagement projects.
• Provide admin support to the HR lead and management team.
• Look for ways to improve our HR processes and make things run smoother.

Requirements:

• Previous experience in an HR Administrator or Co-ordinator role is a bonus.
• Highly organised with great attention to detail.
• Discreet and able to handle sensitive information.
• Strong people and communication skills.
• Able to work independently and juggle multiple priorities.
• Comfortable using HR systems and confident with MS Office.
