  • Good working knowledge of HR processes, employee relations and employment legislation.
  • Experience supporting managers with performance management and employee issues.

  • The ability to manage competing priorities within a busy working environment.
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • Experience using HR systems and Microsoft Office.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach with a good understanding of business priorities.

Desirable:

  • CIPD qualification or working towards accreditation.
  • Experience supporting HR activities within a multi-site or international organisation.
  • Experience using SAP SuccessFactors or similar HR systems.
