- Leading recruitment, onboarding, probation, and retention across the business.
- Managing staff reviews, performance management, and employee development processes.
- Coordinating operational employee payroll information and changes, working closely with Finance to ensure accurate and timely payroll administration.
- Owning and maintaining HR policies, processes, records, and legal compliance.
- Championing our culture and values and managing employee engagement, including eNPS and ‘Happy Valley’.
- Coordinating reward, recognition, and employee benefit schemes.
- Maintaining effective HR systems, administration, reporting, and employee records.
