About Storal 

Each and every child represents a new and exciting story. And everything we do in our growing nursery group is about allowing that story to develop with richness and purpose. By sharing knowledge and ideas across our community of settings, we provide our nurseries with proven and reliable support structures. We empower every member of the team to concentrate on what they really love – understanding children and helping their special stories unfold.

The Role

Our People Coordinators are responsible for providing an effective, high-quality service across a range of human resources activities. They are the first point of contact all team members on all people-related queries.

No two days are the same in our People Team, so our Coordinators must have up to date knowledge of employment law and being tech-savvy is also important, as our People Coordinators often identify improvements to both our systems and people processes.
