• Contributing to policy updates, HR projects, and team initiatives that shape the culture and future of the business
• Coordinating training, events, surveys, and supporting a wide range of people-focused projects

What we are looking for

• A real passion for people and HR — this matters more than anything
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Proactive mindset with great attention to detail
• Someone who's team-oriented, enthusiastic, and eager to grow
• Ideally a few years' experience in an HR role
• CIPD qualification would be great — but not essential

• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays plus your birthday off
