In this role, you’ll lead on supporting managers with employee relations issues, promote compliance with employment legislation and support in the delivery of best practice people management across the business.

We have recently launched a brand new HRIS and have outsourced payroll management to a third party, so supporting managers and employees with using new systems and ways of working will also be a key focus.

In the team, you’ll be the nominal lead for learning and development activities and initiatives, so experience and an interest in L&D would be an advantage.

As well as supporting line managers and the rest of the HR Team in areas such as absence management; policies; recruitment and other HR administration, you’ll also have your own HR projects to manage that contribute to the ongoing delivery of a first-class HR service to the whole business.

Responsibilities

• Support managers with employee relations issues and ensure compliant practice across the business. • Facilitate delivery of HR services in line with current employment legislation and best practice. • Support and promote use of the new HRIS and related processes with managers and employees. • Lead learning and development initiatives and contribute to L&D activities where applicable.

Qualifications

In order to perform well in the role, we would expect you to have;

• Good knowledge of employment law and practical experience of applying it
• Experience of policy development
• Strong interpersonal skills
• Excellent influencing skills
• Good written and verbal communications skills
• A great attention to detail

Ideally, a candidate that is part or fully CIPD qualified would be advantageous

This is a fixed-term contract to cover maternity leave.
