• Dealing in a sensitive and professional manner with enquiries from all sources and maintaining privacy and confidentiality at all times.

You will be managed by our People & Payroll Shared Services Manager and will be working with a team of People Coordinators who support other areas of the organisation, so there will be plenty of opportunities to learn from others, hear more about what we do and how you play a part in the bigger picture.
