Job description

• Coaching and developing managers to build their confidence and capability in handling people matters.
• Building strong relationships across the business and establishing yourself as a trusted People partner.
• Supporting wider People initiatives, policy development and projects as required.
• Collaborating with colleagues across the People team to deliver a high-quality, consistent and people-focused service.

Your Experience

• Significant experience in an HR Advisory or Senior ER Advisory role.

• Strong risk management and decision-making skills.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management abilities.

• CIPD Level 5 qualification (or equivalent experience).

What's in it for you?

• Investment in your future career with a variety of learning and development opportunities.
• No dress code - embrace the freedom to bring your whole self to work.
• 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays. You'll even get your birthday off, too!
• A pension plan for your future.
• Complimentary refreshments in all our offices.
