Human Resources Business Partner

About You Are you a HR professional that likes to get things done? Do you want to be part of a business that genuinely cares about its people? This is a chance to do both of these things; to get involved in every aspect of HR and to do so in a team environment where you can have a real say in what is done and in how it is delivered. Ours is a small team, and we want someone to join us who will be part of thinking about and shaping what we are doing and how we are doing it, and then play a leading role in delivering as we support the business and help it grow and develop.
