- CIPD Level 5 qualified (or equivalent), ideally with a degree.
- Knowledgeable about employment legislation.
- Experienced in project management and data analysis.
- Confident presenting to stakeholders at all levels.
- Skilled with advanced Excel and PowerPoint.
- Organised, resilient, and able to influence effectively.
- A natural relationship-builder, with strong coaching and communication skills.
- Passionate about people development, colleague engagement, and making the Heart of England Co-op a great place to work.
What we offer:
- A competitive salary of £38,000 – £41,000 per annum.
