Progression within HR Assistant Jobs

As a HR assistant you’re likely to be at the beginning of your career path within HR. You can often look at a HR Manager as the next step in your career with a little more responsibility than your current day to day. That is a direct promotion however. A successful HR assistant demonstrates skills that are transferrable between departments, showing skills in managing people, providing support where required and having experience of working to guidelines. You’ll also have worked within a team and as such you’re used to collaborating. After HR Manager would be the Head of HR, typically within this sector, progression is defined by the number of people within the business so if you’re growing and you’re performing well, you have the ability to progress.
