Experience mentoring or supporting junior HR professionals.
Confident in navigating change and engaging with stakeholders at all levels.
Up-to-date knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practices.
Comfortable being fully office-based in St Albans for the duration of the contract due to the hands-on nature of the work.Why This Role?
