 * Maintain and improve HR systems, data accuracy, and reporting.
 * Deliver training and onboarding initiatives to support workforce capability.
 * Partner with line managers on recruitment, performance, and engagement.
 * Contribute to HR projects and site‑wide improvements as the business continues to grow.
About You
 * Proven experience in a broad HR generalist role.
 * Confident handling ER casework and providing sound employment law advice.
 * Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, operational environment – manufacturing experience would be an advantage.
 * Strong HR systems knowledge and data‑driven mindset.
 * Collaborative, pragmatic, and confident building relationships at all levels.
 * Experience managing or mentoring junior HR staff.

 * 12-month FTC with potential for further opportunity.
 * Exposure to a wide range of HR projects and initiatives.
