Paul Harding

Working for the company offers a rewarding career with genuine support and equality of opportunity

Name: Paul Harding
Role: Personnel Officer

I left school at 16 with six GCSEs and began to look for full-time work. I came across an advert in the local press about apprenticeships with Training Plus Merseyside so called to find out more - that was almost ten years ago and now I am the company’s personnel officer. I started as a junior administrator in the human resources department, working through my level 2 apprenticeship in business and administration. The company encouraged my development and sponsored my progression onto the advanced apprenticeship, giving me sufficient job responsibility. My staff appraisal highlighted my interest in personnel - as a result the company sponsored me to study for my certificate in Personnel Practice, ECDL, NVQ L4 in Management qualifications.

My main responsibilities include implementing and monitoring personnel systems and procedures such as staff application, recruitment and selection processes, annual, maternity, paternity and parental leave, lieu and medical or sickness absence monitoring. I am also responsible for contributing to best practice and legislative compliance of our personnel systems and procedures.

I really value the first class training I have been given. I am proud of the company’s vision and am passionate about new staff receiving the high standard of personnel support and career development that I did. To do this, I’m committed to helping maintain and improve the processes that develop and support our most important resource at Training Plus Merseyside - the staff. Now, I am receiving sponsorship for a CIPD level 7 qualification at LJMU and once qualified, I hope to take on full responsibility for personnel management.

Three words that best describe Training Plus Merseyside for me are: opportunity, excellence and service. Working for the company offers a rewarding career with genuine support and equality of opportunity in an environment that really values diversity, standards and continuous professional development.
