About the role

As a key member of our People & Culture team, you’ll play an important role in supporting our business and helping our people thrive. This role is all about maximising employee engagement and ensuring our people strategies, policies, and procedures are not only implemented but truly embedded across the business.

You’ll be the-to partner for employee relations, providing guidance to leaders and employees on all aspects of HR while ensuring compliance with employment law and company policies. Beyond day-to-day support, you’ll contribute to exciting people initiatives – from enhancing our benefits and engagement strategies to championing our HR systems (Workday) and helping leaders unlock their full potential.

Alongside this, you’ll ensure our HR data and processes are accurate, insightful, and efficient, giving the business the information it needs to make smart people decisions. Whether it’s managing family leave, supporting pay queries, or delivering reports that shape strategy, you’ll bring organisation, detail, and care to everything you do.

This role is perfect for someone who is:

• People-focused – passionate about building trust, relationships, and engagement.
• A problem-solver – structured, analytical, and confident in providing clear recommendations.
• An excellent communicator – able to simplify complex information, influence with ease, and engage stakeholders at all levels.
• Organised and adaptable – skilled at balancing multiple priorities without losing sight of detail.
• A culture ambassador – someone who embraces our philosophies and values, leads with positivity, and makes work enjoyable for those around them.

In short, this is an opportunity to make a real impact – shaping how we support our people, driving engagement, and helping to build a workplace where everyone can do their best work.
