Cubby Group is a newly formed group bringing together 14 complementary businesses including construction, civil engineering, rail infrastructure, plant hire, utilities, and more. With around 350 employees across multiple UK locations, the group structure offers increased financial stability and shared operational resources. This role sits at a key point in that transition.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a HR Coordinator to join the Carlisle office for approximately 3–6 months. You will report into the Group HR Manager and play a key role in supporting day-to-day HR administration as the new group structure embeds. This is a hands-on position that requires being on-site most of the time, with flexibility applied where appropriate. There is opportunity for this role to become permanent for the right candidate.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Providing HR administration support across the employee lifecycle
- Processing starters and leavers
- Updating records and supporting workflows in Sage HR
- Producing letters and maintaining personnel files
- Supporting onboarding and general HR coordination
About You
- Practical experience with Sage HR is strongly preferred, as internal training is not currently available
- Comfortable being predominantly on-site in Carlisle
- Organised, proactive, and able to work collaboratively
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail
Future Opportunity
While this is a temporary role initially, there is potential for progression into a permanent position as the Group HR structure develops, particularly as broader employee benefits and senior HR initiatives progress.
Candidate Checklist
- Do you have experience working with Sage HR or a similar HRIS?
- Are you comfortable being predominantly on-site in Carlisle?
- Are you available to start soon?
