In your role you will be the day-to-day contact on employee relations matters for a range of academic schools and professional support areas, advising and coaching managers on best practice and enabling them to apply a risk-based approach to their decision making.
You will work alongside a great team of HR Advisers and HRBPs, plus the wider HR team, and together strive for continuous review and improvement to ensure we deliver a quality service.
