  • Contributing to policy updates, process improvements, and best‑practice HR standards
  • Assisting with small HR projects as required during the contract period
What You’ll Need to Succeed

  • Strong working knowledge of UK employment legislation
  • Confidence managing ER cases from start to finish
  • Excellent communication and coaching skills
  • Ability to work independently, prioritise workload and meet deadlines
  • CIPD Level 5 (desired but not essential)
What You’ll Get in Return
