A responsibility also exists for advising managers on HR management issues and also for providing adequate training to managers and supervisors.
The position is a voluntary one and will suit someone with experience of human resource management in their existing or former careers, either through management training, from a Trade Union background or from an Employment Law background. Membership of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development may be an advantage but is not essential, providing a track record of experience can be demonstrated.
