My journey with We Are Group began as a Recruitment Officer, my first role within the internal HR team. It was a big change for me to move from the fast-paced world of agency recruitment into a mission-driven organisation with a broader people focus.
From the get-go, I was given the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and collaborate closely with colleagues across different departments. This experience gave me a deeper understanding of employee experience and the strategic role HR plays in shaping an organisation.
My role evolved, and I was fortunate to progress to the People Support Officer position, which allowed me to expand my responsibilities and explore new areas within the HR function.
Since joining, I’ve worked to improve and streamline our recruitment processes, ensuring we attract the right people with the necessary skills and reflect our values and culture. I’ve recruited several new team members across the business and am proud to have helped shape a smoother, more inclusive hiring experience.
Beyond recruitment, I’ve had the opportunity to support and lead various projects within the organisation. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my role has been developing and delivering internal training, equipping colleagues with practical knowledge and tools to support their teams effectively.
Moving into a broader HR role has allowed me to grow my knowledge of HR practices and people operations. Every day, from employee relations and training to supporting policy development, new learning opportunities are presented. This progression has strengthened my skillset and reinforced my commitment to building a career in HR.
One of the things I value most about working at We Are Group is the people. We have a fantastic team and a workplace culture that’s genuinely supportive, collaborative, and inclusive. There’s a real sense of shared purpose across the organisation. I feel proud to be part of a team that delivers social impact every day.
If you're considering a role at We Are Group, I’d say, go for it! Be open to change and to learning something new. I came into the organisation with a recruitment background and discovered a true passion for HR. This place values growth, encourages development, and welcomes your ideas. It’s a brilliant environment for anyone looking to make a difference while growing professionally.
