More About The Role
Are you ready to shape, mould, and elevate one of our key performing sites to even greater heights?

Foster a culture of respect and inclusion, where managers listen to and act on colleague feedback.
Coach and support the management team to nurture performance and unlock potential across the site.
Ensure all ER, IR, and Payroll practices are compliant, consistent, and aligned with company standards.
Own recruitment and labour supply—permanent and temporary—ensuring a smooth and engaging experience for all candidates and colleagues.
Drive the development of clear succession plans for all salaried colleagues, so the site’s future is in safe hands.
Support Health and Safety across the site, prioritising the wellbeing of our colleagues and customers.
