Donald Insall Associates (DIA) is an award-winning architectural practice and heritage consultancy.

We are a collaborative team of more than 150 people across the UK, working on high-profile and meaningful projects, combining technical expertise with a people-first approach.

As we grow, we are investing in modern systems, processes and ways of working to support our people and deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients. We offer a supportive and inclusive environment where people are trusted, empowered, and encouraged to develop.

We need a proactive, tech-minded HR professional to join us on a short-term contract, to support the implementation of a new HR Information System (HRIS).

You will work closely with the People team and internal stakeholders to help ensure a smooth rollout, strong employee engagement, and high-quality data and system adoption.

The role:

• Data cleansing and validation to ensure accuracy and consistency across employee records

• Assist in testing system functionality, workflows and user journeys

Communications & Engagement

• Partner with Marketing & Communications to support a clear, engaging rollout plan

• Help create and coordinate internal communications, guidance materials, and user resources

• Contribute to building awareness and confidence in the new system across the teams

Super-User Coordination

• Schedule sessions, gather feedback, and act as a key liaison between users and the project team

• Help drive adoption and ensure consistent ways of working

Process & Operational Support

• Support documentation of new processes, workflows, and templates (contracts, letters, approvals)

• Assist the People team with project-related operational tasks to ensure continuity of service during implementation

• Provide ad hoc support to the People team during a period of change and transformation

About You

• Collaborative and proactive, with a “can-do” approach
