On behalf of our client, a leading brand and well-known name in Northern Ireland, Artemis Human Capital is recruiting for an HR Generalist / HR Business Partner with specialist expertise in absence analysis and strategic workforce planning. This role is ideal for an HR professional passionate about driving real change through data-driven insights and proactive engagement.

The Role

This is not just an absence management role—it’s a strategic and analytical position designed to shape business culture and workforce planning. The successful candidate will:

  • Assess where absence sits within company strategy and culture, identifying underlying trends and challenges.
  • Analyse absence metrics, providing actionable insights to senior leadership.
  • Engage with managers to understand key absence triggers and reasons, creating a holistic view of workforce challenges.
  • Design and lead a structured project based on these findings, identifying key drivers and implementing strategies to reduce absence.
  • Work hands-on in workforce planning, ensuring the business has the right people in place to maintain efficiency and productivity.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally, using HR analytics to support long-term strategic improvements.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as an HR Generalist or HR Business Partner with a strong background in absence analysis and workforce planning.
  • Ability to interpret HR metrics and translate insights into actionable strategies.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage and influence managers at all levels.
  • Experience in developing and leading absence-related HR projects.
  • A broad understanding of strategic HR and cultural impact on absence and workforce dynamics.
  • Previous experience in contract or project-based HR roles is desirable.

Why Apply?

  • Flexible working (2 days in-office, 3 days remote).
  • 25 Days Annual Leave + Stats
  • This is an opportunity to lead a meaningful project that impacts workforce strategy.
  • Work with a forward-thinking organisation that values HR analytics and strategic people management.

*Initially a contract role for 12 months; however, the opportunity to progress with the organisation due to rapid growth is possible.
