  • Contribute to HR projects and initiatives linked to growth, engagement, and organisational change.

  • Maintain accurate employee records and ensure compliance with legislation and company policies.

  • Deliver training and coaching to managers on HR processes where required.

  • Assist with onboarding, employee engagement initiatives, and payroll processes as needed.

What experience you'll need
