Key responsibilities will include:

• Partnering with regional and operational leaders to understand business priorities and deliver effective people solutions.
• Providing expert advice and guidance across the full employee lifecycle.
• Managing and advising on complex employee relations matters, including disciplinary, grievance, absence, performance and capability cases.
• Coaching and developing managers to improve confidence and capability in dealing with people issues.
• Supporting organisational change, including restructures, redundancies, TUPE and other workforce initiatives.
