HR Business Partner – Dublin/Belfast - gategroup
We're looking for an HR Business Partner who gets their energy from being in the thick of it – working with operational managers, solving real problems, and building capability across our Dublin and Belfast operations.
What you'll actually be doing:
You're the HR expert for two major hubs, which means you're part strategist, part problem-solver, part talent magnet. You'll be executing HR strategies that actually matter and drive real business impact!
Your day-to-day:
* Own all recruitment planning and activity for both direct labour and indirect roles across Dublin and Belfast – from forecasting needs to getting the right people in place.
* Drive the local HR agenda with energy and purpose – continuous improvement isn't a buzzword, it's how we operate.
* Be the go-to for employee relations – disciplinaries, grievances, appeals, redundancies, TUPE transfers. The tricky stuff that requires cool heads and sharp thinking.
* Work with unions and employee groups, balancing commercial reality with fairness.
* Build capability in the management team through coaching, talent management, and development.
* Lead change management at local level when the business evolves (and it will).
* Get stuck into cross-functional projects that drive business change and reorganisation as required.
* Deliver training on people-related topics and foster a learning culture.
You'll be visible, hands-on, and trusted to make calls that keep the operation moving while keeping people at the heart of everything.
What we need from you:
* Qualified and credible – Degree level, CIPD qualified, with solid managerial HR generalist experience
* ER heavyweight – Deep knowledge of Irish employment law and real experience managing difficult ER situations.
* Recruitment-savvy – You know how to plan, attract, and hire at pace in a service environment and are great at bringing it all together!
* Commercially sharp – You understand the business, the numbers, and how HR drives performance.
* Resilient and assertive – You've got the stamina to drive change and the confidence to push back when the business needs it
* Fast-paced operator – Service environments move quickly. You thrive in that chaos and have experience in operating in a fast paced, seasonal environment.
What makes this role different:
Two locations. Diverse workforce. Operational intensity. Unionised environment.
You'll be part of a well-established HR team with extensive experience and a strong track record of delivering for the business across the UK.
