This is a fantastic opportunity to join a Premier League football club with a unique culture that is admired across the world. Whether you’re mad about football, sports or people, we’re looking for a HR Assistant to join us during a period of maternity cover.

From the kick-off you will support the HR Team in accurately and effectively executing core HR processes. Whether responding to colleagues’ queries, producing contractual paperwork or onboarding new starters, you’ll take pride in providing the best service to the wide variety of colleagues across the whole Club.

Whilst football may not be your sport, this role is an exciting opportunity for somebody with demonstrable experience of supporting people teams alongside a strong can-do attitude; ultimately, it is your passion for delivering effective people processes that will stand you out from the crowd.

As a team we operate a hybrid working model, working flexibly across the Club’s locations in Leicester and north Leicestershire. We’re committed to exploring flexible working opportunities – we welcome full-time and part-time applications for this role.

If you’re looking for your next challenge and available for an immediate start, we’d love to hear from you.

About The Club

Knowing some of the history of Leicester City Football Club helps you appreciate the sense of community, spirit and family for which the Foxes are renowned for.

Formed in 1884, the Club has been in the Premier League since 2014 when the Foxes were promoted as Championship winners. In 2016, Leicester City became Premier League champions. This remarkable achievement qualified them for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the Club’s history, and the Foxes went on to reach the quarter finals of the competition.  The Club continues to build on that success, and celebrated lifting the prestigious FA Cup in May 2021.

Under the stewardship of King Power and the Club’s CEO Susan Whelan, Leicester City Football Club is deeply committed to the local community and its supporters and continually strives to ensure that every point of engagement with fans is truly world class including the experience on matchdays.  Meanwhile, investment in the Club continues, with the 2020 opening of a new state-of-the-art training ground in north Leicestershire.
