Who we think you are

You and your approach

About you

• Comfortable operating in a generalist HR/People role, with the ability to navigate multiple jurisdictions (e.g. UK and NL, or EOR arrangements) a strong plus.
• Proficient in managing HR systems and maintaining accurate employee data
• Able to explain policy clearly and advise managers on sensitive HR matters
• Organised, with strong administrative skills and attention to detail
• Able to work independently and manage a varied workload across 3 days per week

Your capabilities

Our principles guide how we approach everyday.

We work hard but insist that everyone considers the balance between work and their life and responsibilities outside. We are direct in our dealings with each other. We continuously work to build mutual trust so that we can give each other feedback without fear of it being taking personally.

We can support a predominantly remote, office-based or hybrid working model. We do really value face-to-face time and, where circumstances allow, encourage teams to spend regular time together at suitable locations.

As our current Business Operations team is based in Nottingham, the successful applicant should be based in, or within a reasonably commutable distance, to the Nottingham city centre.
