Exciting Part-Time HR Manager Opportunity.
We are delighted to be recruiting for an exciting opportunity for a HR Manager to join a thriving SME in St Albans on a part-time basis. With a team of around 80 employees, this 30-year-old SME is well-established and now looking to bring its HR function in-house.
As the first in-house HR professional, you’ll have the chance to shape and tailor the role to meet business needs. We are seeking a candidate with senior-level HR experience who is eager to create and establish a robust HR function from the ground up.
