This role covers the full range of generalist activity including employee relations, performance management and change management. In addition I have lead responsibility for a number of projects and input into the overall HR strategy of the organisation.

In this role I was a field based HR generalist working in the third sector. My responsibilities were primarily employee relations based but with additional work in recruitment, projects (job evaluation, health and wellbeing, mental health awareness, design and delivery of HR workshops to line managers).

Initially a generalist role which morphed into a primary responsibility for complex employee relations issues. This role started as a temporary contract before I was offered a permanent position.
