Maternity Cover Duration: 8 to 10 months Start Date: July 2026 Working Pattern: Part-time or full-time considered Key responsibilities Operational Continuity: Maintain and refine the HR policies and procedures established by the HR Lead, ensuring they remain in lockstep with business growth and local regulatory requirements.

Talent Acquisition: Lead the full recruitment lifecycle, ensuring a high-quality candidate experience and partnering with line managers to secure top-tier talent. Performance Management: Oversee and manage the newly created group-wide performance review process, ensuring high completion rates, consistency, and alignment with company objectives.
