You’ll bring:

• Senior HR leadership experience within a sizeable, multi-site business.
• Experience of managing change and bringing teams or businesses together.
• Strong employee relations and operational HR experience.
• The confidence to challenge, make difficult decisions and work with people.
• A practical, down-to-earth approach with the energy and pace to get things done.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to make a real impact in a successful, growing business, with the freedom to shape the HR function and play a key role in its future development.
