HR Assistant

Amsterdam | 40 per week

Reports to: Head of HR

Contract: 7 months maternity cover replacement

At Urban Gym Group, we run some of the best-loved fitness brands across the Netherlands, the UK and Ireland, including TrainMore, Clubsportive, RUSH and Gymbox, and we’re growing fast. Behind every great club is a team that feels supported, and that’s where you come in.

As our HR Assistant, you’ll be the engine behind our day-to-day HR operations. No two weeks look the same: one day you’re preparing contracts for new starters, the next you’re helping a colleague with a question about their leave or making sure payroll has exactly what it needs. You’ll work closely with the HR team to give our people a smooth, accurate and friendly HR experience, in line with Dutch employment law.

What you’ll do

• Manage the full employee lifecycle administration, from new starters to leavers. This covers preparing employment contracts, processing contract changes and producing leaver documentation, while making sure all communication goes out on time and Rippling is updated promptly and accurately
• Keep personnel records organised, accurate and confidential
• Be a first point of contact for employee questions about HR matters
• Support payroll with accurate, timely information on absence, sickness, leave and working schedules
• Handle benefits administration
• Arrange travel and process expense claims
• Contribute to HR projects that improve how we work

You

• Have exceptional attention to detail, so everything you input, from contracts to system updates, is accurate first time
• Have 1–2 years’ experience in an HR or administrative role (or you’re a recent HR graduate ready to put theory into practice)
• Are highly organised and can juggle multiple priorities, knowing what needs doing first
• Handle confidential information with discretion
• Communicate clearly and warmly, in writing and in person
• Are comfortable with HR systems and Excel, and quick to learn new tools
• Have a basic understanding of Dutch employment law, or a strong interest in building it
• Speak and write fluent English and Dutch
• Bonus: you love fitness, or at least love working in a fast-paced, people-focused business

We offer

• Competitive salary
• 26 holidays + public holidays (includes your birthday off) based on full-time employment
• Well-being matters: you and your family get unlimited access to OpenUp, our mental health and well-being partner
• Free membership for you and a +1 of your choice in all of our labels (NL + UK included)
• Volunteering leave (1 day pr. year)
• 3% employer pension contribution with Vive

Application proces

01

Apply

Send us your CV and cover letter; we read every one personally. Whether you're the right fit or not, you'll always hear back from us.

02

Come and meet us

The process depends on the role you're going for. Most candidates start with a Recruitment interview, followed by an interview at one of our clubs or an invitation to a Club Recruitment Day. Applying for a trainer or performer role? We'll invite you to our next academy instead.

03

Are we right for each other?

We're on a mission to reinvent fitness, and that takes the right people. We look beyond the CV: character, drive and ambition matter just as much as experience. This is a two-way conversation: you should leave knowing whether this is the place for you too.

04

The offer

When we know, we move fast. You'll receive an offer with everything you need to get started; If things don't work out this time, we will offer you feedback.
