Key responsibilities will include:
- Acting as the principal HR contact for designated business areas
- Building trusted relationships with managers and senior stakeholders
- Independently managing complex disciplinary, grievance, absence, performance, capability and investigation cases
- Coaching managers to strengthen their confidence and people-management capability
- Providing pragmatic advice that balances employee experience, business needs and organisational risk

About you
You will be an experienced HR professional with a strong generalist background and demonstrable experience operating as a trusted partner to managers and business leaders.
You will also be able to demonstrate:
- Strong and current knowledge of UK employment legislation
- Extensive experience independently managing complex employee relations cases
- Experience advising, coaching and constructively challenging managers
- Exposure to organisational change, restructures and consultation processes
- Strong stakeholder-management and relationship-building skills
- The ability to provide commercially balanced and pragmatic HR advice
