We're looking for a HR Onboarding & Compliance Officer to join our HR Operations & Onboarding Team based in London. This team plays a crucial role in ensuring every new colleague joining HCA UK experiences a seamless, safe and supportive introduction into our organisation. Our work directly impacts patient care by ensuring every person who joins us is fully compliant, prepared, and set up for success from day one.

As a HR Onboarding & Compliance Officer, you'll be central to delivering a world-class onboarding experience. You'll manage pre-employment checks, draft offer letters and contracts, coordinate corporate induction, provide guidance to stakeholders, and maintain the compliance records that support our wider workforce planning. This is a varied and fast-paced role where you'll build strong relationships, support continuous improvement, and ensure our standards meet regulatory requirements across the organisation.

Above all else, we're committed to the care and improvement of human life. It's this guiding vision that influences everything we do at HCA UK. From the CEO to colleagues on the floor, we all play a part in delivering exceptional care to our patients. Others may see this as just a role within HR, but to us, you'll be part of a wider team with a unique sense of purpose - one that helps improve lives every single day.

What you'll do:
  • Manage the full pre-employment checking process, ensuring all required compliance documents are obtained ahead of start dates (DBS, Right to Work, references, OH clearance, registrations, risk assessments and more).
  • Draft and issue all written offers, contracts and associated onboarding documentation.
  • Proactively engage candidates throughout the onboarding cycle, ensuring a smooth, positive experience and minimising the risk of candidate withdrawals.
  • Book and coordinate corporate induction, ensuring all new starters are confirmed onto an appropriate session.
  • Complete pre-hire and full-hire actions within HR systems to support accurate workforce planning.
  • Liaise closely with Resourcing, HR Business Partners and Hiring Managers to keep them updated on progress, challenges and risks.
  • Conduct daily audits of compliance documentation and maintain systems that monitor ongoing workforce compliance.
  • Identify and mitigate potential delays, escalating issues and proposing solutions where appropriate.
  • Support department projects including induction delivery, process improvement, accommodation, visa processing and DBS applications.
What you'll bring:
  • Strong experience from within HR / onboarding compliance-focused environment.
  • Experience within healthcare / clinical onboarding compliance is desirable.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to liaise confidently with candidates and stakeholders at all levels.
  • High attention to detail and accuracy when handling sensitive data and contractual information.
  • Ability to analyse information, problem-solve and propose practical solutions.
  • Strong organisational skills, able to prioritise a busy workload and meet tight deadlines.
  • A collaborative, patient and approachable style with a commitment to exceptional customer care.
  • Working knowledge of HR policies, onboarding processes, Right to Work checks and compliance standards (desirable but not essential).
  • Proficient IT and HR systems experience.
