• Contributing to wider business projects and providing hands on support where required

We are looking for a commercially minded HR professional with a strong generalist background and proven experience operating within complex environments, experienced in TUPE and change.

• The ability to build credibility quickly and operate with impact from day one
• A resilient, delivery-focused mindset with the ability to manage competing priorities

You will have a London base but will only be required in the office once per month. Some international travel could be involved if this works for a suitable candidate, but it can also be managed remotely.
