- Contribute to policy, process and guidance improvements, translating employment law changes into practical advice.
- What we are looking for
- Strong HR advisory, generalist HR or ER experience.
- Practical UK employment law knowledge and sound judgement in applying policy.
- Confidence coaching managers through complex or sensitive people matters.
- Ability to work at pace while maintaining quality, confidentiality and data protection standards.
- Strong communication, analytical and relationship‑building skills.
- A resilient, credible and calm approach when dealing with ambiguity and challenge.
