You will be CIPD qualified (or have equivalent relevant experience) and have a sound understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Skilled in building relationships and working collaboratively, you will be an excellent communicator and problem-solver, confident in supporting managers to make fair and well-reasoned decisions.

This role is well suited to a HR professional who has established their foundation and is now ready to build on it in a supportive and forward-thinking team.
