You'll also bring :

  • Experience in employee relations, including supporting disciplinary processes and ensuring compliance with employment law.
  • A strong generalist HR background with exposure to performance management, and organisational development.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills – you’ll be confident advising and coaching leaders.
