These will be presented by the ever popular Philip Lott, and will include teams from various UHR regions in an Employment Law challenge.

Job vacancies
UHR is aware that the use of headhunters in the sector is under
scrutiny and UHR will be working with the ECU to review the usefulness
and appropriateness of these methods. Nevertheless, as the Chair and
Vice Chairs are often approached for suggestions of potential
candidates who may be appropriate for a role, if any senior colleagues
(i.e. current and aspiring HR Directors) who are considering a change
of role and looking for an HR appointment at senior level, wish, they
may seek a confidential discussion with the UHR Chair or Vice Chairs in
order to deal effectively with the headhunting contact which is focused
on these appointments.
