• Confidence, clarity, and empathy in communication - you know how to build trust across the business
• A can-do, sleeves-rolled-up mindset with a love for variety and autonomy
• Comfort in informal and fast-changing environments - where not everything is figured out yet

?? Location & Package

• Salary: £35,000 - £40,000 + 10% bonus
• Location: Office-based in South Manchester (with flexibility for some remote working)
• Extras: A blank canvas to build and grow your HR career, alongside a friendly and ambitious team
