This is the perfect opportunity for someone at the start of their HR/People Operations career – motivated, curious, detail-oriented, and excited about supporting employees. You’ll join a small, agile and supportive People team where you’ll receive guidance while also having room to take ownership and work proactively.

Requirements

• A minimum of 2 years' professional experience (ideally in HR)
• Strong emotional intelligence, with an approachable, people-centered style
• High attention to detail and a reputation for accuracy in everything you do

• Curiosity and initiative – you take direction well but also spot what needs doing
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• A genuine passion for employee experience and developing your HR career
• An HR qualification or studies would be an advantage but not a requirement
