Are you an experienced HR professional who enjoys variety, autonomy, and making a genuine impact across a growing organisation?

You’ll play a key part in supporting a recently transferred workforce following TUPE activity, while partnering closely with operational managers to strengthen people management capability and improve employee experience across the business.

• Contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and lessons learned within the people function
