The role will be offered as a fixed term contract via Umbrella or via your own Limited Company as a Contractor. Please specify your preference and your day rate (in line with the pro rata salary quoted above) when applying.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as the primary HR contact, ensuring smooth and consistent HR service delivery.
• Provide expert advice and coaching to line managers and employees on various employment lifecycle issues.
• Manage a caseload of disciplinary, grievance, performance, attendance, and occupational health cases.
• Develop and improve HR processes and policies in line with employment law and best practices.
• Support the development and maintenance of the HR Information System.
• Line manage HR team members, including performance development and workload prioritisation.
