People Officer

Hours: 40 Hours Monday – Friday
Type: Permanent
People matter. Do you enjoy being at the hub of all people matters? Do you love supporting your colleagues by creating an inclusive and welcoming workplace? Are you focused on ensuring fairness and transparency for your colleagues?
Consider joining us as our new People Officer.
You'll be at the heart of supporting our teams to do great work every day. You'll bring clarity, fairness, and a human touch to the moments that matter, because you believe HR should feel real, grounded, and genuinely helpful.
You'll be the first point of contact for managers and employees who need supportive, practical HR support. You'll guide people through policies and processes, helping them make good choices and keeping things consistent, fair, and compliant. You'll keep our HR systems sharp, our documentation accurate, and our case records up‑to‑date so we're always audit‑ready.
You'll coordinate the day‑to‑day flow of HR activity, supporting performance, absence, recruitment, welfare, and everything in between. You'll prepare the HR information managers rely on, work closely with Occupational Health, and keep our HR case management log running smoothly. You'll also play your part in supporting our VitaVoice reps, Trade Union meetings, and agency labour audits.
You can do this
If you understand HR processes, know your way around employment legislation, and love helping managers do the right thing, you'll thrive here. You're comfortable working with different personalities, advising on tricky situations, and meticulous about accuracy. You enjoy being part of a hardworking HR team and you're not fazed by shifting priorities, deadlines, or the occasional cold trip into the factory.
You'll do this for us
Bring your HR experience, your curiosity, your resilience, and your commitment to doing things properly. In return, you'll join a team that values you, develops you, and wants you to succeed.
Ready to help shape how we care for our people? We'd love to hear from you.
