• supporting organisational change, including TUPE, due diligence and integration planning for acquisitions, working with the projects team to keep stakeholders informed
• coaching and mentoring leaders at all levels, helping them with succession planning, appraisals and SMART objectives
• advising and training colleagues on Workday, and supporting the annual salary review, bonus plan and payroll so payments are accurate and on time
• supporting the employee journey from recruitment and pre-hire checks through to inductions, exit interviews and leaver processes

What we’re looking for

• strong employment law knowledge, including tribunals, subject access requests, policy writing and TUPE
• hands-on experience and confidence using data to make decisions
• a credible, confident adviser who builds trusted relationships and influences at every level, from line managers to senior stakeholders
• experience of managing medium to large-scale projects and juggling a varied workload with strong attention to detail
• a coach and mentor who enjoys developing others and has helped junior colleagues progress

CIPD Level 5 or above qualifications would be a bonus.
