Eight times accredited as a Top Employer and Gold accredited for Inclusive Employers Standards, we value our people and are dedicated to making sure that everybody feels empowered to bring their authentic self to work. 

At EMR we want to proactively  embrace diversity  across our workforce and recognise that we are under-represented in terms of ethnic minority groups.

• Provide coaching and training to line managers to develop their capability in managing people issues to enable optimum performance from their teams

• Ensure that employee relations cases are managed in a timely, professional and legal manner in accordance with employment legislation and business policy

• Attend local union meetings and specific functional councils as required

• Drive the employee engagement scores for your customer base by providing support to the management teams with their action planning and providing appropriate HR interventions where required

• Work with your customer base to drive the accurate completion of performance appraisals with SMART business goals and development plans within the annual performance cycle

• Assist your customers in the completion of robust succession plans and talent maps

• Provide support in the design, development and regulation of specific restructuring initiatives ensuring that any new terms and conditions are flexible and productive and meet business needs

To be successful in this role you should:
