• Handle a variety of ER cases, including sickness absences, disciplinary actions, grievances, and performance issues.
• Work with managers to resolve complex cases, escalating to senior HR support when necessary.
• Provide guidance to operational teams on safety-critical roles and other regulatory matters.
• Monitor sickness levels, identify trends, and support solutions to improve overall health and well-being.
• General HR Support (40% of Role):
• Support recruitment, manage induction processes, and assist with learning and development initiatives.
• Maintain employee wellbeing dashboards and assist with data analysis for HR insights.
• Provide general HR administrative support as needed.

Key Requirements:

• Proven experience in Employee Relations or general HR, with a focus on managing casework such as disciplinary actions, performance reviews, and grievances.
• Excellent communication skills and experience handling challenging conversations across a diverse team.
• Ability to maintain compliance with regulations and other operational policies.
• Proficient in HR systems, data analysis, and trend reporting.

Why Join my client?

• Enjoy a chilled management style that emphasizes trust and autonomy.
• Development opportunities: There is a strong possibility of extending the FTC or transitioning to a permanent role, depending on performance and operational needs.
• Work in a dynamic environment
