Profile


Diane Potter
Senior HR Officer

"I work in our Shared Services HR team as a Senior HR Officer, providing a generalist service to various key departments within the business including: PR, Finance, Property, Logistics and IT. My role enables me to get involved in wide range of activities including: recruitment, training, employee relation issues and reward management.

I enjoy the fact that every day is different and brings with it different challenges and issues. I also enjoy the fact that I get to work with a variety of people at all levels of the business.

To do my job effectively you need to be confident, a strong communicator and exceptionally organised. You also need to be able to work in a fast-paced environment with the ability to prioritise your workload effectively and have the ability to influence at all levels. It is essential that you have a good grounding in employment law and are able to advise on best practice training, reward and recruitment policies and practices. You also need to be good at building relationships with people and have an eye for detail.

I graduated from The University of Nottingham with a degree in Psychology and my first role after graduating was with Arcadia as a HR Assistant in May 2005. I have progressed within the Shared Services HR team from HR Assistant to HR Officer to Senior HR Officer.

Arcadia Group has provided me with clear development opportunities. The environment, people and culture at Arcadia are unique, making it a very enjoyable place to work."
