Reward & Projects

• Assist with payroll liaison where needed
• Contribute to HR projects (e.g. HR systems, process improvements, cultural initiatives)

Essential:

• CIPD Level 5 qualified (or equivalent experience)
• Strong working knowledge of UK employment law
• Proven experience managing employee relations casework
• Experience in a generalist HR role (Advisor level or similar)

• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, changing environment

Desirable:
