HRIS Systems Specialist

HRIS Systems Specialist / Product Resource

📍 Hybrid | South East / Midlands Preferred | 12-Month FTC | £50,000

Are you the kind of person who loves bringing structure to chaos, transforming outdated processes into modern systems, and genuinely seeing the impact of your work across a business?

This is not a “keep the lights on” HR systems role.

This is a chance to help build an entire HR technology landscape from the ground up.

An exciting, fast-growing healthcare organisation is embarking on a major digital transformation and is looking for an experienced HRIS Systems Specialist to support the implementation of MHR People First across a multi-site UK business.

You’ll join at a pivotal point in the programme - moving from heavily manual, spreadsheet-driven processes into a modern, cloud-based HR ecosystem covering:

• Core HR
• Payroll
• Workforce Management
• Talent & Learning
• Employee Self-Service
• Performance & Reporting

This is a genuinely high-impact role where your work will directly improve operational efficiency, workforce visibility, employee experience, and data accuracy across 80+ locations and 2,000+ workers.

🚀 What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders, HR leadership, clinic managers, and implementation partners to help drive the programme through design, testing, migration, deployment, and post-go-live optimisation.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting the end-to-end implementation of MHR People First
• Assisting with configuration, workflows, UAT testing, and deployment
• Leading data cleansing, validation, migration, and reconciliation activity
• Working with large, complex workforce datasets across multiple sites
• Supporting workforce management and rota configuration projects
• Helping standardise HR processes across the organisation
• Delivering user support, training, and adoption activity
• Creating process documentation and system guides
• Collaborating with HR, Payroll, IT, and operational stakeholders
• Supporting future phases including Talent, Learning, and Workforce Management rollouts

👀 What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who sits in that sweet spot between technical systems expertise and operational understanding.

You don’t need to be a pure consultant or developer - but you do need to understand how HR systems work in the real world and how to bring people on the journey.

Essential Experience

• Experience supporting HRIS implementations or migrations
• Exposure to end-to-end HR system projects
• Strong data migration and data quality experience
• Understanding of HR and payroll processes
• Experience working in multi-site organisations
• Confidence working with large datasets and spreadsheets
• Strong stakeholder and communication skills
• Ability to work across technical and non-technical teams

Highly Desirable

• Workforce management / rota implementation experience
• MHR People First experience
• HR/payroll systems knowledge
• Experience within healthcare, retail, hospitality, dental, or other operationally complex environments
• Change and transformation exposure
• HRIS reporting and analytics experience

💡 Why This Role Stands Out

This organisation is growing rapidly through acquisition and modernisation, meaning there’s genuine pace, investment, and long-term opportunity.

You’ll be joining a business that:

• Is replacing heavily manual HR processes with modern digital systems
• Operates across a large UK multi-site network
• Values innovation, continuous improvement, and autonomy
• Gives people real ownership and visibility
• Is investing heavily in transformation projects

There is also potential for longer-term progression into a future Business Systems Manager pathway for the right person.

🌟 The Culture

This is a collaborative, fast-moving environment where people are encouraged to:

• Challenge the status quo
• Think commercially
• Roll their sleeves up
• Work cross-functionally
• Drive real improvement

The team wants someone proactive, adaptable, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in an evolving transformation environment.

📍 Location & Flexibility

• Hybrid role
• South East / Midlands preferred
• Office travel only required a couple of times per month (Office is based in Basingstoke)
• Some travel to operational sites may be required
