About the role

This role manages people matters for our colleagues in the UK, who work largely remotely, to ensure everyone has a consistently good experience working with us. The Regional HR Manager will cover for the Head of Employee Relations when needed, take on agreed areas of work and manage at least one direct report. Alongside that, the Regional HR Manager may be asked to advise on cross-border matters and change projects spanning several countries, working with local colleagues and advisers. The role combines day-to-day support with longer-term improvements, including employee relations, compensation, benefits, reporting and compliance, across all our brands in The Adaptavist Group.
