People Administrator

By adopting the values of Style & Truth across the whole business – from recruitment to product – we safeguard the long term health of the brand and we create more than just fashion.

DESCRIPTION

Founded in 1970, Jigsaw was the first premium fashion brand on the high street. Since then, the company has expanded worldwide to work with the finest mills, cutting edge photographers, up-and-coming models and renowned architects. But the search for the best in the industry never stops. As our journey continues, we're looking for passionate and talented people to learn about Style & Truth: a set of values that sets us apart from the rest of the high street, a belief that everyone should feel empowered to embrace their own style, be true to themselves, and not slavishly follow the fashion world. This means putting style before trends and truth before hype.

We are looking for a People Administrator to join our small but fabulous HR team. This is an ideal position for someone who wants to start or resume a career in HR in a fast moving, exciting and growing business. We are a HR team that likes to make a difference to the wider organisation and are always open to feedback and ideas that will make a positive change. We support and help each other but always ensure we are growing and developing our own career.

We are open to flexible working, with a split of time between the office and home working. We are also open to candidates looking to work 4 or 5 days per week. If this sounds like the role for you, then please apply. We can’t wait to meet you!
