From putting the soles on your shoes, to the tarmac they walk on; from a packet of crisps to silicon chips; from wooden toothpicks to electric cars; youd be amazed at the things we get involved in. We dont do these things ourselves, of course, but we have worked with the people that do... to enable their efforts and dreams to be realised.


Sometimes our role is significant; sometimes its small, but its never trivial and its always rewarding.

Support onboarding projects, including the development and delivery of resources for new starters and managers. Assist with the scheduling and coordination of Leadership & Development (L&D) programmes, including logistics and communications for leadership cohorts. Contribute to the Reward and Recognition programme by supporting project activities, resource creation, and communications. Participate in other ad hoc HR projects as required, supporting a range of initiatives aimed at driving continuous improvement within the HR function.

Experience:

Experience in an HR support or HR projects role (in-house or consultancy/agency), or relevant administrative/project management experience. Strong written communication skills, with the ability to draft clear and concise policies, guides, and training materials. Excellent organisational skills with an ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously. Confidence in delivering or assisting with training and presentations, both virtually and in-person. Proficiency with Microsoft Office suite and comfort with basic design/visualisation tools (e.g., PowerPoint, Co-pilot, Visio) for pictorial workflows and guides. Ability to work collaboratively with colleagues across departments and levels. High attention to detail, initiative, and a solutions-driven approach.
