Why this will stop you in your tracks

  • Real ownership: You'll be the HRD's right hand, trusted, visible, and pivotal.

…and ideally:

  • CIPD Level 5 (or working towards)
  • Strong HR systems savvy (data, records, reporting)
  • A calm, practical style and great judgement

What you'll do (the highlights)
ER & HR Ops

  • First point of contact for employee queries; consistent, legally‑sound advice
  • Support ER cases end‑to‑end: investigations, documentation, outcomes
  • Keep immaculate, confidential records and ensure GDPR/compliance

Recruitment & Onboarding

  • Coordinate postings, screening, interviews and offers
  • Prepare contracts and onboarding packs; deliver smooth inductions
