The Organisation

Our client is the British division of a global manufacturer and distributor of safety, access, and storage equipment for industrial, construction, and automotive professionals.

They have about 200 UK staff between two sites – Midlands and South East.
They urgently need an Interim Senior HR professional to bring stability at UK exec level during a sensitive time of sick leave. 

It is a full-time role starting immediately for 3 to 6 months – ideally based near Derby but with flexibility. Outside IR35 status likely. Day rate and other aspects to be discussed with interested interim candidates.

Roles & Responsibilities

The role will involve bringing instant stability to the HR function in the UK; working closely with both the UK general manager and the EMEA VP of HR. Though it is quite a hands-on / tactical role (involving providing leadership cover) it is more than this and will provide the opportunity to bring in a fresh set of eyes to review the UK operations and make suggestions for long-term improvement.

• 10-15 years HR leadership experience and ideally CIPD qualified
• Experience in manufacturing environments preferred - warehouse operations, plants etc.
