Track record as a trusted HR Business Partner operating independently in challenging environments.
Excellent stakeholder management and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence outcomes and build strong relationships.
Ability to balance operational ER/IR casework with contributing to strategic projects.

Why Join
Pathway to permanency: Start in a 3–6 month temporary capacity with the potential to secure a long-term role.
Impactful work: Resolve complex ER/IR issues and shape positive workforce outcomes.
Supportive team: Work with experienced colleagues and take ownership of your portfolio.
