It's ideal for someone who enjoys variety, values continuous professional development, and is looking to support and grow across multiple areas of Human Resources.

You will have experience of co-ordinating recruitment activities and an understanding of immigration legislation and its application in the workplace. You will have up to date knowledge of employment law and experience of conducting investigations in disciplinary and grievance casework.
