HR Advisor - Leeds

Fortrea is looking for an HR Advisor to join our Leeds team. This is a full-time, permanent position with hybrid working.

The HR Advisor is an amazing opportunity to step into the clinical industry in a hands-on role where you will be at the heart of the operational excellence of Fortrea, a global Contract Research Organization delivering groundbreaking solutions to advance therapies and drugs.

As an HR Advisor, you will play a crucial role in delivering a comprehensive Human Resources service for all employees in the UK.

This is a brand-new role so you will be able to add value and bring ideas with you! We’re looking for someone who is a ‘people person’ with strong communication and organisational skills.
