• Can you confidently manage complex, sensitive employee relations cases independently while balancing a fast‑paced workload?
• Are you someone who builds strong relationships quickly and offers clear, pragmatic advice?
• Do you thrive in a hands‑on environment where influence, initiative and sound judgement are essential?
