Job Description

The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced and commercially focused HR Business Partner to join our team and play a key role in supporting leaders, managers and employees across the organisation.
This is an excellent opportunity for an HR professional who enjoys working closely with the business, providing trusted advice and coaching, and making a genuine difference to organisational performance, culture and employee experience.
You will act as a trusted people expert, partnering with managers and business leaders to understand their challenges, provide pragmatic HR advice and develop solutions that support both people and business objectives.
You will have the opportunity to work across a broad range of HR activities, including employee relations, performance management, talent, workforce planning, organisational change, reward and wider people initiatives.
What You Will Be Doing
You will work closely with business leaders, managers and key stakeholders to build organisational and people capability, helping to shape and implement effective and consistent people strategies and activities.
A key part of the role will be providing strategic and expert HR advice, while also coaching and supporting managers to develop their own people capability. You will build strong relationships across the organisation, acting as a trusted point of HR expertise and challenging and influencing appropriately when required.
You will support the business in creating a high-performing culture by helping managers manage performance effectively, identify performance differences and address underperformance proactively. You will provide guidance throughout the performance management cycle and support performance calibration activity.
You will coach leaders and managers to strengthen their leadership capability and help them develop effective approaches to managing their teams.
The role will also involve supporting complex employee relations matters, ensuring that decisions and actions are consistent with company policy, employment legislation, best practice and the organisation’s values. You will support managers with investigations and help them resolve challenging employee relations situations fairly, objectively and effectively.
You will take an active role in HR and organisational projects, supporting the development and delivery of wider people initiatives and programmes. This may include reward reviews, performance reviews, payroll and reward communications, organisational change and other strategic HR activities.
You will work closely with internal teams, external service providers and recruitment agencies to support resourcing activity in line with established processes.
You will also provide guidance on HR policies and day-to-day people matters, ensuring employees and managers have access to consistent, practical and appropriate HR support.
An important part of the role will be maintaining a strong understanding of employment legislation and regulatory requirements, helping to minimise legal risk and ensure compliance. You will work with internal and external specialists, including legal and occupational health providers, where appropriate.
You will analyse people trends and metrics and use these insights to help develop practical solutions, policies and programmes. You will also provide HR guidance and input into business change, workforce planning, talent management and succession planning.
Above all, you will work collaboratively with managers and employees to improve working relationships, strengthen morale, increase productivity and support employee retention.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for an experienced HR professional who can operate confidently at both a strategic and operational level.
You will have strong knowledge of employee relations, performance management, employment legislation and wider HR practices, together with the ability to build effective relationships at all levels of an organisation.
You will be confident coaching and influencing managers and leaders, including the ability to constructively challenge established practices where necessary.
You will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, strong commercial awareness and the ability to understand complex people and business issues and turn them into practical solutions.
You will be comfortable working independently while also collaborating as part of a wider HR team and contributing to organisational projects and initiatives.
Experience of working within a complex, fast-paced or regulated organisation would be advantageous.
What You Will Get In Return
You will join an organisation where HR has a genuine opportunity to influence business performance, culture and the employee experience.
You will have the opportunity to work closely with senior leaders and managers, gaining broad exposure across strategic and operational HR and playing an important role in shaping people initiatives across the organisation.
The role offers a varied workload, combining business partnering, coaching, employee relations, talent, organisational development and project work, meaning no two days will be the same.
You will also benefit 33 days annual leave, and flexible working with 4 days office based and 1 day hybrid working from home.
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation where your HR expertise will be valued and where you can make a visible contribution to how people are supported, developed and managed.
If you are an experienced HR professional who enjoys partnering with the business, developing leaders, solving complex people challenges and helping organisations perform at their best, we would be keen to hear from you.
