People & HR Manager
East Yorkshire | Full Time | Office Based
Are you the type of HR professional who believes people come before process?
We're supporting a growing, owner-led business with the appointment of a People & HR Manager. This is a newly created role with the opportunity to build and shape the people function from the ground up.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you'll have the autonomy to influence culture, employee engagement, recruitment, learning & development and the overall employee experience, whilst ensuring the business continues to operate with robust HR processes and best practice.
This is far more than a traditional HR role. We're looking for someone who enjoys being visible within the business, builds trusted relationships and genuinely wants to create an environment where people enjoy coming to work.
