About you:
We're keen to speak with candidates who have previous experience working within an HR function and are confident handling a varied workload in a professional environment.
You'll be highly organised, proactive and comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously. Strong communication skills are essential, along with the ability to build effective working relationships and provide a responsive service to employees and managers.
