This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to really come, work closely with some fantastic senior leaders in a friendly, collaborative environment and make a difference to the role HR plays in increasing performance across an already high performing culture. Someone who has been working in a standalone role, and has engaged with senior leaders would really work well here. This role can also work on a pert time basis- likely 4 days per week if there are candidates where this would be their preference.


Please be aware that when applying for this role, The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 require us to hold work seeker records for a year in most circumstances.
