This includes defining and delivering the UK HR roadmap, ensuring compliance with employment law, and supporting managers across all areas of people management, development and organisational effectiveness.
It’s a varied role covering HR strategy, employee relations, payroll oversight, talent development, recruitment, compensation & benefits, HR reporting and the rollout of group-wide initiatives. You’ll also work closely with Health & Safety and CSR teams to support wider organisational programmes.
