For this role candidates will need to have proven HR experience at this level and ideally hold or be studying towards CIPD qualification. Experience within a similar sector would be advantageous - Logistics, Transport, Rail, FMCG, Freight etc, although this is not essential. The client group is 80% blue collar and 20% white collar, so all sectors would be considered if relevant HR experience across a varied similar sized client group can be demonstrated.

 

This is supporting a regional client group and would involve 1-2 days working from home and then could be based at any of the regional offices - Midlands, North-West or Yorkshire. You would be expected to travel to the different sites as and when required, and dependent on business needs, but would manage your own diary.

 

The role would be ideal for an experienced HR looking for a new opportunity with a well-established business or looking for the next step into a Junior HRBP role. There is great scope to take on more responsibility and grow within the business.

 

The company offer a good package, including opportunity to join a final salary pension scheme, 25 days holiday, company bonus scheme and flexible working.
