• Coordinate local training and development activities
• Provide practical guidance on UK employment law and HR policies

This is an opportunity to take on a broad and varied HR role with real local responsibility. You will be close to employees and the operational business, while at the same time benefiting from the support and exchange of an international Group HR team.
