About Lifecome Care

Lifecome Care Limited is a CQC-regulated provider of domiciliary and community care. We support people to live safely, independently and with dignity in their own homes and communities.

As we grow, our people remain at the heart of everything we do, and great care starts with recruiting the right people, the right way. Our work is guided by six principles: Safety, Governance, Partnership, Continuity, Dignity and Improvement.

The role

We’re looking for an organised, friendly and detail-focused HR Administrator to help us find, check and welcome the right people into our team. You’ll be the engine behind our recruitment and HR administration, making sure every applicant is screened and vetted safely, every record is accurate, and every new starter gets a great first impression of Lifecome Care.

This is a hands-on, varied role that’s ideal for someone who enjoys keeping things running smoothly, takes pride in getting the details right, and wants to do work that genuinely matters. Full training is provided, so we’ll happily consider candidates with strong administrative experience who are keen to build a career in HR.

What you’ll do

Recruitment and onboarding

• Post job adverts, manage applications and shortlist alongside hiring managers.

• Arrange interviews and keep candidates informed, giving everyone a positive experience.

• Prepare offer letters and contracts and coordinate inductions for new starters.

Screening and vetting (safer recruitment)

• Carry out right-to-work checks and process DBS applications.

• Obtain and verify references, employment history and qualifications.

• Keep complete, accurate safer-recruitment records that meet CQC standards.

• Track and flag anything that needs action, for example, expiring DBS certificates or right-to-work documents.

HR administration

• Set up and maintain accurate, confidential employee records and HR trackers.

• Support probation, training and compliance monitoring, and keep the HR system up to date.

• Handle HR correspondence and answer day-to-day queries from staff.

• Provide payroll with accurate starter, leaver and change information.

• Handle all personal data securely and in line with data protection law.

Compliance and team support

• Help keep our recruitment and HR practices compliant with employment law and CQC requirements.

• Support audits and inspections by keeping records inspection-ready.

• Provide general administrative support to the HR and management team as needed.

What we’re looking for

Essential

• Strong administrative and organisational skills, with excellent attention to detail.

• Confident with IT, email, Microsoft Office, and HR or recruitment systems.

• Clear, friendly communication, both written and verbal.

• Able to handle sensitive information with discretion and complete confidentiality.

• Reliable, self-motivated and comfortable managing a varied workload.

• Right to work in the UK and willing to undergo a DBS check.

Desirable

• Experience in HR administration, recruitment or resourcing.

• Understanding of safer recruitment, right-to-work and DBS processes.

• Experience in health and social care.

• CIPD Level 3 (or working towards it).

• Working knowledge of employment law and data protection basics.

Don’t tick every box? That’s fine. If you’re organised, trustworthy and eager to learn, we’d still love to hear from you, we provide training and support to help you grow.
