This includes recruitment, onboarding, ongoing support, employee relations, and client satisfaction.

You'll be based at our office in High Holborn but will regularly visit sites to check in with your teams and meet clients face-to-face. It's a people-first role that blends HR, operations, account management and client services.

• Comfortable working independently and managing your own schedule
• Some understanding of HR processes, employee relations, or Health & Safety is helpful (but we'll train you!)
