We are looking for a People Coordinator to provide effective, customer focused coordination of administration and systems for all stages of the workforce lifecycle (employees and associates). The People Services team has ambitious plans, and this role will support the team in delivering the vision of putting people at the heart of everything we do.
About you:
You will have experience of providing high-quality administrative support in a busy and challenging environment, preferably within HR. You will be highly proactive with a friendly and professional approach. You will also be a self-starter and confident, with the ability to use your initiative to anticipate the People Services team’s needs without a high level of instruction. You will have excellent written communication skills including the ability to produce emails, letters, minutes, and reports that are accurate and in an appropriate style.
You will be highly organised and comfortable with multi-tasking and prioritising in order to manage a busy workload and meet competing deadlines, including managing shared e-mail inboxes. You will be proficient in the use of data-based systems with the ability to generate reports. You will be able to act with diplomacy and discretion and to safeguard confidential and sensitive information at all times.
The role will also represent the GDC positively and professionally and provide first response to external and internal queries, providing advice on people issues as appropriate.
About us:
Our purpose is to protect the public by regulating dental professionals in the UK. All dentists, dental nurses, dental technicians, clinical dental technicians, dental hygienists, dental therapists and orthodontic therapists must be registered with us to work in the UK.

The GDC employs approximately 350 employees across London and Birmingham. We also engage the services of over 500 associates and panellists who sit on our statutory committees, hearings and fitness to practise panels. The People Services team comprises 16 members located across our Birmingham and London sites.
The GDC is committed to equality and diversity. We encourage and support the recruitment, retention and career development of people from as wide a range as possible of ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds. The people we interact with daily are incredibly diverse and we know how much of an asset empathy is to the way we operate. Your skills and expertise in equality and diversity, either as lived experience or as an ally, will be incredibly helpful in adding to the effectiveness of the team.
Our office is situated within walking distance of Birmingham’s two main rail stations at New Street and Snow Hill. The building provides excellent facilities and amenities, including over 100 cycle bays, showers, locker rooms and a drying room for colleagues.
