About
The HR department supports the Company and management in recruiting, developing and retaining its most important resource – its people. We are a small local team of five, but we work closely with our global HR Partners as well. There are multiple layers to what we do and we support the Leadership team to manage people through their entire HR life cycle.
As a team we work hard to provide the support, advice and guidance the company and its employees need, through the good times and the more challenging ones.
Entry qualifications
HR roles are usually recruited based on a mixture of experience and HR qualifications.

A Typical Day
No one day is the same in the HR department and the work is very varied. We work closely with the business and assist with tactical problems as they arise and also complete key processes each month within the HR lifecycle.
We can be found, for example, setting up interviews, liaising with recruitment agencies, advising managers on policies, working with local schools, going to Careers fairs, attending the Senior Management meetings and working with our training partners to assist with apprenticeships.
Who We Work With
In short, we work closely with everyone and our footprint is across the entire business! We support the Leadership team with everything from their recruitment to training for team members, we have an open-door policy for all, and we’re heavily involved in onboarding and welcoming our new starters.
