ROLE
You would be joining a team of 2, reporting into the HR Leader and working closely with the Senior HRBP, you’ll be responsible for a wide mix of HR activity, including:

• Managing employee relations cases and advising managers on performance management (PIPs) and grievances (with templates and processes in place).
• Drafting complex contracts (including non-compete and bonus clauses for example).
• Supporting recruitment on an ad hoc basis sometimes with international remit.
• Overseeing Workday system administration and HRIS processes.
• Providing general HR support across the employee lifecycle.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being involved in every part of the employee lifecycle, from advising managers, to creating complex contracts and booking travel for a people related event!

• Exposure working with advising managers on Employee relations in the UK including performance and grievances
• Confident handling a dynamic, changing workload in a matrix organisation.
• Experienced in ER case management, particularly performance management and grievances.
• Strong contract drafting skills, with the ability to handle more complex clauses.
• Proficiency with Workday (or similar HRIS).
• A true self-starter who enjoys working independently with minimal day-to-day direction.
• Someone adaptable, practical, and resilient, equally happy managing higher-level ER cases and everyday admin.
• A genuine, approachable personality — team fit is just as important as technical skills.
• Someone who is immediately available or on maximum 1 months notice.
