Job Description

HR & Sustainability Lead | Norwich | Part-time, 24 hours | Hybrid | c.£40,000

Senior HR roles and proper part-time hours rarely go together. This one does.

A B Corp certified accountancy practice in Norwich is looking for an HR & Sustainability Lead to own the people function and the firm's B Corp and sustainability commitments. The role reports directly to the CEO and is genuinely senior, not a hours-light version of something junior.

This is an established firm with around 600 clients, strong professional standards, and a values-led identity that holds up to scrutiny. The HR function is already built, the B Corp framework is in place. What this role does is keep both running properly and tell the story externally.

The role

The remit splits across three areas:

People. Induction, four-monthly performance cycles, recruitment end-to-end, grievance and disciplinary casework, JEDI, wellbeing, health and safety. Co-ordination across both the UK team and an outsourced team based overseas.
	
Sustainability. Maintaining B Corp certification in good standing, preparing for the next recertification, the annual Impact Report, and the firm's wider ethical accreditations. External communications and content that markets the firm's purpose-led identity.
	
Standards and reward. Pay benchmarking, the annual review cycle, training completion across the team, CPD co-ordination, and reinforcing the firm's standards on data protection, ethics and methods of working.

External HR and H&S support is already in place, so you won't be alone on technical employment law or compliance. You'll know when to draw on it.

Who this will suit

Someone with substantial HR experience, probably already at HR Manager or HR Lead level, who wants seniority and ownership at part-time hours. Professional services experience would help. You'll be confident running difficult conversations as well as supportive ones, commercially minded, and aligned with the firm's values without being precious about them.

CIPD qualification is desirable, not essential.

What's on offer

Circa £40,000
	
24 hours per week, three days or flexed over five
	
Hybrid working from a Norwich base
	
BUPA private medical insurance
	
Employee Assistance Programme and mental health first aid provision
	
Climate Perks
	
Living Wage employer with proper benchmarking
	
A direct line to the CEO and real ownership of the brief

If you're an experienced HR professional looking for a senior part-time role in a firm that genuinely lives its values, this is one worth a proper conversation
