* A willingness to learn and develop – including working towards CIPD Level 3 if you don’t already have it
* Values that match ours – Ambitious. Resilient. Collaborative. Inclusive. Respectful.

You’ll be part of a warm, supportive team where your ideas matter and your contribution makes a real difference. Here, you’ll develop your People expertise, build confidence, and gain hands‑on experience in a busy, friendly environment.
This is more than an admin role – it’s a chance to shape the employee experience for hundreds of colleagues.
