• Supporting recruitment, onboarding and wider workforce activity, including contractual changes and employee lifecycle processes
• Contributing to wider people initiatives and helping strengthen HR processes and ways of working where required
• Maintaining a visible and credible HR presence during evening and weekend operations, building trusted relationships and providing practical, solutions-focused support
