As the first dedicated HR hire in London, you will need to be someone who is comfortable taking ownership, dealing with challenging stakeholders and helping to shape how HR operates within the office. You will, however, have the support and guidance of an experienced national HR team.

The organisation has been through a significant period of integration and change. The HR team has already delivered complex projects including restructuring, TUPE and payroll integration.
