Job Description: We are looking for an enthusiastic HR Advisor who has either gained or is working towards an HR or payroll qualification (for example, Level 3 CIPD or CIPP). This is a full-time maternity cover, expected to end in November 2026.

Sport England is a large and vibrant organisation tasked with helping people across England live active lives, but you don’t need to be sporty or know the off-side rule to join us!

In this role, you will contribute to a range of people-related matters, including payroll and benefits administration, recruitment and employee lifecycle. You can expect a varied day-to-day and will be part of a supportive and knowledgeable team.

You will need a keen eye for detail and knowledge of payroll processes and systems. You will also have an ability to provide advice to stakeholders across the organisation, supporting on delivering recruitment processes in a collaborative way.

Further information on the role, as well as the benefits of working at Sport England, can be found in the job pack and description. If you are keen to take the next step in your HR career, contributing to our ambitious 10-year strategy, we would love to hear from you.
