Attending site management meetings in place of the Head of People when needed

Working side-by-side with managers to plan resource and boost engagement across the site
What you'll bring to the table:

Calm, confident approach with a splash of commercial savvy
A proactive mindset - you spot issues before they become problems
Experience in ER, performance management, change projects, and workforce planning
Why this role rocks:
