A team player – able to bring the best out in and inspire the team and a genuine passion for working in a HR / People function in a complex and challenging sector.
Strong planning and performance / accountability management skills which translate into supporting the best People outcomes.
Ability to work at pace – balancing multiple projects, cases and priorities – recognising what is important and when it may be necessary to work over and above to achieve essential outcomes.

Why join us?
