- Providing coaching and support to up-skill line managers dealing with staff on sick absence and to support managers with difficult conversations.
- Producing and analysing data and identifying trends to raise with appropriate HR or business specialists to facilitate resolution and fill knowledge gaps.
- Keeping up to date with employment law and policy changes across DfT ensuring that current HR advice is provided.

**For further information, please see the attached Role Profile.**

You will be an articulate communicator, both verbally and in writing, with the ability to interpret complex HR policy and relay this to staff in a manner which is easily understood. You will confidently handle high volume enquiries, whilst managing your time effectively to complete all requests within a timely manner, providing a continuously high level of customer service.

You will be comfortable producing and analysing data and identifying trends, such as knowledge gaps, enabling you to raise these with appropriate HR or business specialists to facilitate resolution. You will display excellent interpersonal skills, enabling you to develop positive, trusting relationships with a wide range of colleagues.
