  • A naturally empathetic, patient approach; you build trust quickly and stay calm and supportive even when situations are difficult or sensitive.

  • Strong attention to detail and a structured, methodical way of working; you’re comfortable with process and documentation, not just “winging it”.

  • Confidence to give clear, firm guidance when a client needs a direct answer, while always staying collaborative rather than dictatorial.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain things clearly and reassuringly to non\-HR audiences.

  • Discretion and sound judgement when handling confidential or sensitive information.

  • A positive, can\-do attitude and the enthusiasm to keep clients engaged, balanced with the professionalism to never let friendliness compromise compliance.
Preferred (not essential):* Around 5 years’ experience in an HR role.
  • CIPD qualified, or working towards it,

  • Exposure to HRIS systems.

  • Confident user of Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
