You’ll be confident supporting a wide range of employee relations and people management matters, building trusted relationships with clients and stakeholders, and communicating complex information in a clear and professional manner.

You will hold a CIPD Level 5 qualification (or equivalent), or a postgraduate qualification in Law, alongside a passion for delivering excellent client service and helping businesses achieve positive people outcomes.
