• Support recruitment, onboarding, and probation processes working with managers to deliver a smooth and welcoming experience for all new hires.
• Act as a trusted advisor on all HR matters—supporting managers, navigating complex cases, and ensuring a fair and inclusive workplace.
• Effectively manage all HR admin processes, systems and provide routine people metrics and reports to Executives, to guide decision-making.
• Maintain compliance across HR practices, staying ahead of employment legislation and upholding company policies. Ensure compliance with employment law, audit requirements, and GDPR.
• Support the management of monthly payroll processes and manage all benefits administration with precision and confidentiality.

About You

You will:

• Be qualified to Level 5 CIPD or above.
• Demonstrate a strong career history within a HR generalist role, including at management level.
• Have solid knowledge of employee relations processes and relevant employee legislation, including experience of managing ER cases independently.
• Demonstrate a proven ability to foster and support a positive, inclusive, diverse and highly collaborative employee culture.
• Be confident working in a standalone HR role.
• Be capable at building strong working relationships across all levels and functions of the business.
• Possess experience in developing and supporting line managers through change.
• Demonstrate strong analytical, problem solving, communication and decision-making skills.
• Thrive in a busy environment and be able to manage multiple, simultaneous priorities.
• Maintain the highest standards of confidentiality as a trusted and professional ambassador for HR.
