Super-strong organisation and interpersonal skills are essential, and you'll also bring the ability to work at pace and with agility.

An HR qualification isn't necessary - as long as you can demonstrate your interest in HR and show a comprehensive understanding of HR processes and policies, we'll provide you with the necessary professional development to make you an HR superhero.

This is a UK-based role, but we also support offices in France, Spain and Italy. Experience working with employees in these countries would be helpful, but is not essential.
