About You

We are ideally looking for someone with a minimum of 3 years' practical HR experience within an HR Advisor, HR Generalist or similar role.

You will need:

• Strong hands-on employee relations experience
• Experience managing disciplinary, grievance, absence and performance matters
• Good working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice
• Confidence advising and challenging managers when required
