The key responsibilities are:


  • To support the People & Culture Director and Lead to deliver the wider people strategy and objectives.
  • Partner with business leaders and frontline people managers in areas of responsibility to determine and deliver local people plans.

The role is primarily based at Kirkintilloch but may require some travel to our other site in Bridge of Allan before we all transition to Gartcosh from quarter 2, 2025.


We are looking for a positive and proactive team player who is confident working autonomously and delivering agreed tasks on time. If you have a good working knowledge of HR practices and at least 3 years HR experience, and last but not least are passionate about people, we would love to hear from you.
