  • Support managers with complex case management, ensuring compliance with employment legislation and organisational policies.
  • Partner with stakeholders to deliver people plans aligned to organisational objectives.
  • Coach and develop managers to build confidence and capability in people management.
  • Contribute to organisational change, workforce planning and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Support the development and implementation of HR policies, procedures and best practice.
  • Mentor and support HR colleagues, sharing knowledge and building capability across the team.
  • Analyse HR trends and provide insights to support decision-making.
