hr manager Bournemouth, England
Job description
Role Purpose
At Passenger we build technology for good and we are seeking a like minded HR Manager who is looking to deliver a positive impact on the world around us.
You will be responsible for making sure that the HR function is always customer focused, delivering a good service to Passenger and its people.
With an exciting growth plan ahead, the ultimate aim is to deliver on our mission statement “We build technology to power sustainable transport connecting people and their communities” and to create a high performance culture, promoting both personal and team growth.
Who you are
Expert in your field
An experienced HR generalist, you have a great working knowledge of Employee Relations and can own the employee life cycle from first touch, onboarding and employee pastoral care, right through to offboarding.
Continuous Improver
CPD isn’t just an acronym for you, but a way of life and you like to bring people on the learning journey with you.
People person
You’re good with people, be that in person, on the phone or by email! You’re comfortable working with both internal and external stakeholders, understanding which medium is the best to get the information you need with as little pain as possible.
Planner
You’re keen to plan before acting, knowing that most projects have more than one moving part so keen to draw out the details before choosing how best to attack.
Collaborator
You know that some projects will be “all you”, while others will require delegation of tasks and help from others. You’re able to clearly communicate your needs, priority and value when asking for help, and able to motivate others to deliver with more carrot than stick.
Eye for detail
