Ensure appropriate documentation is prepared, reviewed, and maintained in line with audit, risk, and legal requirements.
Provide operational insights, case trends, and recommendations to support policy reviews, process enhancements, and wellbeing initiatives.
Partner with HRBPs, managers, payroll, benefits teams, and Employee Relations to ensure accurate handling of absence-related impacts.
Contribute to training initiatives for managers on absence management and employee wellbeing.
Assist with the development of absence management tools, templates, procedures, and training materials.
Keep up to date with UK and Irish legislative developments and ensure related processes are maintained accordingly.
Participate in Global Policy reviews and provide local country input on sickness absence and wellbeing policies and procedures.
Provide GHR support to local, regional, or EMEA initiatives relating to absence management, employee wellbeing, and service delivery.
Track service metrics, case volumes, and operational trends, providing regular reporting and insights to stakeholders.

Skills & Experience

Third-level degree in Business, Human Resources, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Previous HR Operations, Absence Management, Employee Relations, Case Management, or HR Shared Services experience preferred, with working knowledge of UK and Irish employment legislation.
Experience in a large and preferably global organisation within Financial Services, Banking, or a comparable industry environment.
