- Develop and maintain strong working relationships with line managers.

**Experience**:

We are not just looking for an advisor, we are looking for someone who is capable of practicing what they preach, confidently and pragmatically. Demonstrating an ability to execute best practice and process, whilst also engaging and influencing others.

To succeed in this role, you will:

- Be self-confident, approachable, and proactive in the way you carry out your work.
- Have an excellent understanding and knowledge of ER, employment law and relevant legislation, with an awareness of the importance of keeping up to date.
- Be commercially driven, with a pragmatic approach to HR and a real focus on reaching suitable resolutions.
- Have excellent communication skills, with an emphasis on your written communication.
- Have the ability to build relationships at all levels.
