• Leading and developing a responsive, people‑focused HR team
• Managing employee relations cases with fairness and sound judgement
• Coaching managers with practical, operationally aware HR advice
• Driving continuous improvement across HR processes and service delivery
• Designing and delivering essential skills training for managers
• Building trusted relationships across the business

Experience

• Locally based – Must be able to drive to Dartford daily
• 3+ years in HR
• Looking for someone who is not too process‑driven (i.e., strict policies and processes)
• Senior advisory experience with hands‑on HR functions, ready for a team leadership/manager role

What you won’t find there

Bureaucracy for the sake of it. Their team values clarity, compassion, and confident decision‑making over red tape.
