Overseeing key employee lifecycle processes, including probation reviews and exit interviews.
Acting as the HR representative at operational, Tier 2 and senior management meetings.
Reviewing and maintaining job descriptions and supporting changes to organisational structures where required.
Advising managers on effective recruitment, selection and retention approaches.
Using HR data and reporting to identify trends relating to turnover, engagement, absence and retention.
Contributing to the review and development of HR policies, ensuring they remain aligned with current UK employment legislation.
