- A strong working knowledge of employment law, case law and HR best practice and proven experience of implementing it practically will be a key strength of yours.
- A problem solver! Always thinking how you can solve a problem whilst considering and balancing the risks of each of your options. That means we can provide the best possible advice and option, to facilitate managers to make the right choice for the business and importantly our colleagues.
