HR Advisor

A Day In the Life of Samantha Kershaw – HR Advisor

No day is ordinary at The Dane Housing Group but I always arrive in the office to first check if any applications forms for any job vacancies that we have available, have been sent in by candidates. If so then I make arrangements for the relevant managers to view them. Throughout the day I also take phone calls from job applicants and answer any queries they may have about the vacancies or send them an application pack. When we have a successful applicant, I prepare the new starter for joining the company by ensuring that their new starter pack is completed.

There are many other tasks that I carry out, such as receiving and recording absence management forms, which I collate into monthly reports for managers in the departments. I also co-ordinate the occupational health visits and arrange appointments for employees who need to attend.

At Dane Housing, we run an apprentice scheme and also provide work experience placements and I co-ordinate both. The apprentice scheme involves short-listing applicants, making arrangements for inductions and monitoring progress reviews. When I receive a work experience request I liaise with the relevant department to make arrangements.

All in all, I enjoy working at Dane Housing as it is a great team to be part of and it’s an enjoyable place to work in. Our people and our unique company culture make us different from other organisations, and everyone is passionate about the role that they play within the company.
