Ready to make HR happen?
This isn't a role where you'll simply keep the paperwork moving. You'll own the HR function, influence managers, shape people processes and help drive the business forward. Working closely with senior leadership, you'll have the opportunity to build on existing HR practices, champion company values and create a high-performing, accountable culture where people can thrive. If you're an HR professional who enjoys having an impact, making improvements and being the person people turn to, this could be the role for you.
This is what you'll be doing
As the HR Manager, you'll be at the heart of the people agenda, balancing day-to-day HR with longer-term improvements. You'll:
- Own recruitment and selection, making sure the business attracts the right people and continues to learn and improve from its hiring and retention decisions.
- Drive performance management, ensuring managers are equipped to have meaningful conversations, deliver effective appraisals and get the best from their teams.
- Take the lead on employee relations, confidently managing absence, performance, disciplinary and grievance matters while ensuring everything is handled fairly, consistently and compliantly.
- Shape HR policies and processes, keeping them legally compliant, practical and aligned with the needs of the business.
- Champion development and onboarding, identifying training needs and ensuring new starters receive a professional, engaging introduction to the organisation.
