Full Job Description
🍊Our mission
We're powering biology's century with radically faster, more reliable clinical trials. Every new treatment needs clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy, but today's infrastructure is stuck in the past- driving up cost, causing delays and ultimately meaning new treatments don’t get to patients. We're fundamentally changing that- not just being a "better CRO," but transforming how people think about developing new treatments, so patients can access breakthrough treatments faster.
Our impact speaks for itself: Since March 2021, we've powered 100+ clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients. We recently raised a $55M Series B from Balderton Capital, alongside backing from Creandum, Firstminute, Seedcamp, and Visionaries.
🍊What's it like to work here?
When you join us, you’ll experience:
High-Impact, Mission-Driven Work: Lindus Health is disrupting an outdated industry, giving you the chance to directly improve patients’ lives and see tangible results from your work.
Fast-Paced Growth & Ownership: We recognise hard work and outcomes over anything else. You’ll take on real responsibility, work across different areas, and actively shape the company’s success.
Collaborative, No-Ego Culture: Work with smart, driven people in a supportive and informal environment. At Lindus we break down silos, fun is a core value, and creativity is encouraged.
Ready to power biology's century? We'd love to hear from you.
🍊About the role
We’re building something ambitious, and the experience our people have every day truly matters.
This is not an entry-level role. We’re looking for someone with solid HR foundations who can step in, take ownership, and run core people operations with confidence.
As our Junior People Partner, you’ll be a trusted partner to employees and managers, ensuring our people processes are efficient, compliant, and human. You’ll operate independently across day-to-day HR matters while partnering closely with our People Partners on broader, higher-impact initiatives. This role is a blend of ER and People Operations so you’ll have exposure across the full end-to-end employee lifecycle.
You won’t just administer processes — you’ll improve them. You’ll identify friction, strengthen documentation, optimise systems, and help us scale responsibly in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
If you’re currently working as an HR Administrator or HR Advisor and are ready for greater ownership and broader exposure, this is your next step.

Highly organised and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple priorities independently
Clear and confident communicator able to explain policies to employees and constructively challenge managers where needed
Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment
Proactive and solutions-oriented, not purely task-driven
Tech native, comfortable using technology and AI driven solutions
Desirable: experience in a start-up environment
🍊What you'll focus on:
Own Core People Operations
Serve as a trusted point of contact for employee and manager queries, exercising sound judgment and knowing when to escalate
Lead end-to-end delivery of onboarding, offboarding, performance cycles, and benefits administration
Maintain and optimise our HRIS, and performance management system ensuring data accuracy, integrity, and reporting readiness
Produce regular reporting and insights to support People and leadership decisions
Ensure people processes run smoothly, consistently, and with attention to detail
Take ownership of core administrative processes, templates and documentation

Restructuring and optimising shared People documentation (e.g. G-Drive)
Owning onboarding for all new joiners including the delivery of induction sessions for employees based in the UK, EU & US
Visa management across the business
Lead straightforward ER issues and support on complex cases across the business
Ad hoc projects partnering with departments across the business on key People-related projects
