We currently have a vacancy for a permanent Human Resources Advisor to join a hugely welcoming and supportive team. The role will primarily be based at our Deeside site, however, candidates must be willing to travel regularly to other sites (expenses can be claimed).

We are looking for candidates who are equipped with the skills to work in an extremely varied, fast-paced role.
