He will be an inspirational person to work with when developing and implementing new people initiatives which really add value to the organisation.

This exciting opportunity for a Head of HR is to not only drive forward a positive people strategy which adds true value to the organisation through engagement and leading their plans for growth, but also to manage the day-to-day operational HR and ER within the organisation.

The development of leadership capability and an engaged workforce will be at the heart of this growth along with managing operational HR. This organisation has had significant recent investment and are consistently designing new and innovative leading-edge methodologies that support growth.

To achieve such ambitious goals, the people agenda is focused on three things: organisation-wide behavioural change, personal growth, and the development of a workplace that inspires people to be the best version of themselves, every day. What they do not want are ‘business as usual’, ‘tick the boxes’ candidates.

  5. Strong employment law knowledge is a must along with in-depth experience in resolving complex ER issues.
  6. Add in commercial acumen, with a passion for going beyond your remit you will be able to evidence having added value through the development and implementation of new initiatives.
  7. You will have the ability to manage, motivate and develop an initial HR team of 2.
  8. You will have a solid HR management background that will enable you to skip across the full spectrum of HR issues, ideally within a manufacturing organisation but certainly have experience within an industrial, blue-collar, shop floor private sector organisation.
  9. We are looking for candidates who can evidence driving forward positive cultural and behavioural change with an established workforce.
  10. You will have superb communication skills and be credible with the gravitas and inner confidence to influence at all levels within an industrial environment.
