Reporting to the HR Business Partner, you will support the HR team by being subject matter expert on all things policy and process, HR compliance and employee relations.

You will also support the HR Business Partners with change management activity.

The role will be primarily remote, but you will be required to attend the Northampton office once a week, with the wider team, and on an ad hoc basis for specific ER or project matters.
