  • Support, coach and challenge line management with absence, disciplinary and grievance issues
  • Lead a number of the projects on the HR plan to drive forward business strategy such as the introduction of new HRIS systems or communication tools

You should apply for this role if you...

  • Have demonstrable experience in a similar HR advisory and can confidently guide staff on a number of ER matters

  • Are an approachable person who can think outside of the box or adapt your strategy to ensure staff get the support they need while accommodating the company interests
  • Are looking for a more people focused role where you are not confined to your desk, and will be encouraged to frequently interact with staff personally in a friendly and informal environment
  • You are curious and open minded, with a mindset of questioning current practice and seeking to adapt your approach in new ways to continually improve the current HR function and employee experience
