You will become part of a small team of People Advisors, and there will be many opportunities for sharing knowledge and best practice. Complex and high risk ER cases will be escalated to relevant Business Partners. There may be a requirement and opportunity to get involved in other people related matters, such as payroll, recruitment, production of MI information, and potential to support other project work within the organisation.
