Come and join the People Team at our head office in Thame.
You will work as part of a team who are regionally aligned with responsibility for supporting our colleagues and advising our managers on a range of HR processes such as managing attendance, long term sickness, probation and right to work. Fairness and consistency is important to us and so you’ll drive a best in class mentality, keeping our colleagues at the heart of all our decisions. You’ll work closely with our regional People Business Partners to ensure compliance and best practice is maintained.
What’s it all about?
This role supports managers with day-to-day people processes such as absence, AWOL, probation, and flexible working requests, while also advising on people policies and low-level employee relations cases. You’ll guide managers through all aspects of the employee lifecycle, from onboarding to exit, and provide coaching on best practices.
