About you

You’re a Senior HR Business Partner or People & Culture Manager, equally comfortable leading a team as you are on the tools. You build strong relationships, provide pragmatic advice, and lead teams to deliver consistent, high-quality support.

Proven experience leading and developing teams

Strong knowledge of employment legislation and HR best practice

Ability to influence and build relationships with stakeholders at all levels
