• Has a sound understanding of HR practice and employment law, with the willingness and ability to develop further practical experience in employee relations and case management.
• Can build trusted relationships, adapt their communication style and work collaboratively with colleagues, managers and stakeholders at different levels.
• Can organise and deliver activity, manage multiple priorities and follow through from idea to implementation.
• Is curious, proactive and committed to improving the employee experience, and is comfortable suggesting new approaches and encouraging participation.

Likewise, candidates with a stronger ER background should be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in engagement, wellbeing and inclusion work.

We will assess candidates across both employee relations and engagement to reflect the balanced nature of the role. We are interested in your transferable experience, your understanding of good people practice and employment law, and your willingness to learn.
