About the Job

This is a varied HR & Training Assistant position covering the full employee lifecycle, combining hands-on HR administration and employee relations with responsibility for coordinating and delivering training.

About the Successful Applicant

You will have around 3-4 years' generalist HR experience and, importantly, previous experience delivering or facilitating training.

Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport are essential. CIPD Level 3 would be advantageous, alongside a full UK driving licence for occasional site travel.
