You will partner closely with leaders to understand issues, assess risk, provide practical advice and support them through challenging conversations and people decisions.

• Strong investigation, writing and documentation skills
• Excellent judgement and the ability to balance risk, commercial considerations and the human impact of decisions
• Confidence coaching leaders through sensitive situations
• A calm and measured approach with the ability to de-escalate challenging matters
• Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills
• The ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining attention to detail
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach

Most importantly, you will understand that good HR can protect the organisation, maintain appropriate boundaries and treat people with dignity at the same time.

What’s on offer?
This is a great opportunity to join an established global organisation and experienced HR team where you will have the autonomy to manage your work, while being supported by a collaborative and down-to-earth team.

You can expect:
