People Intern

Who we are

The internship

The Employee Experience is small and growing. You will help onboard new joiners, update policies, run surveys and keep records clean. You can work from home anywhere in Ireland.

• Maintain employee records in the HRMS (Keka, Zoho People or BambooHR) and Google Sheets.
• Organise virtual induction sessions and keep the induction deck current.
• Coordinate onboarding for new joiners: documents, laptop request, welcome email and first-week schedule.
