We're supporting a well-established, multi-site organisation seeking an experienced Interim HR Specialist to join the team on an initial three-month assignment during a period of heavy workload.

- No two days are the same, making this an ideal opportunity for an interim who enjoys operating within a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Ideal candidate
This is a fantastic role for candidates who enjoys variety, autonomy and problem-solving. You'll inherit a broad ER caseload from day one and work closely with senior HR leadership to provide pragmatic support across a diverse operational workforce.

• An experienced HR Advisor, Senior HR Advisor or HR Business Partner
• Comfortable managing complex ER cases independently
• Used to operating across multi-site or operational environments
• Commercial, pragmatic and solutions-focused
