HR Officer vs HR Coordinator

Hello, can I ask you to explain to me the difference between a HR Officer and a HR Coordinator? I got used to the CIPD bands i.e. generalist/technician, adviser, consultant and business partner. Am I right to assume that the two are a combination of generalist and adviser? I’ve noticed that these titles seem to relate largely to the third sector. Thank you

  • My 2p worth is that a HR Co-Ordinator could be either a HR Administrator or a HR Adviser. Unlikely to be much above that. Coordination to me suggests more passive administration work so if anything it is a posh way of describing a lower role.

    HR Manager is a rather unused term now. Most HR Managers called themselves BPs even if their roles haven't changed much. So for me a HRM is like a junior HRBP doing some but not all of the role.
  • I think it also depends on the business, I'm a HR Manager but in a small start up and so makes sense to me to be titled Manager rather than BP. I think it would be beyond most colleagues what a BP means in my company haha!
