  • Strong working knowledge of UK employment legislation.
  • Practical experience in employee relations, payroll and HR administration.
  • Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships at all levels.
  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
  • The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and work effectively under pressure.
  • A proactive, flexible and solutions-focused approach.
  • High levels of integrity, discretion and confidentiality.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and HR/ERP systems.
  • You will have ideally looked after warehouse, office, and sales teams.
