About the Company

Reporting into a senior HR or People lead, you will have genuine ownership of your own caseload and the opportunity to get involved in wider projects as the function develops. This role suits someone who has built a solid generalist grounding and wants breadth and autonomy rather than a narrow, siloed remit.
