Developing and implementing HR policies, processes and frameworks
Providing expert guidance on UK employment law and employee relations
Supporting and coaching managers across the business
Driving workforce planning and organisational development initiatives
Using people data and insights to support business decisions

Direct exposure to senior leadership and key business decisions
Growing international business with ambitious plans
