Human Resources Business Partner

We are looking for an experienced People/HR Business Partner with strong employee relations expertise to provide hands‑on, pragmatic people support across the business during a period of growth and integration. Working with a small team across the country, you will own a varied employee relations caseload and partner with managers across the organisation as the business continues to evolve.

You will be equally comfortable advising managers on day‑to‑day people matters and rolling up your sleeves to deliver complex people projects. This role would suit someone who has thrived in a fast‑paced start‑up or scale‑up and is energised, rather than daunted, by ambiguity and pace.

• Manage a broad range of employee relations matters from start to finish, including disciplinary, grievance, absence, performance, capability and conduct cases, providing commercially focused and legally compliant advice to managers.
• Support organisational change initiatives, restructures and people‑related projects, ensuring fair, consistent and compliant processes throughout.
• Coach and develop line managers, building confidence and capability in managing people matters effectively.
• Interpret and apply HR policies and procedures, supporting policy reviews and ensuring compliance with current UK employment legislation.
• Contribute to organisational design and workforce planning to support business objectives.
• Assist with wider People team projects, process improvements and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Analyse people data and trends to identify risks, provide insight and support informed decision‑making.

• Previous experience as an HR Business Partner or Senior HR Advisor with significant employee relations responsibility.
• Proven ability to manage complex employee relations cases independently from initial advice through to resolution.
• Experience supporting organisational change within a fast‑paced, evolving business.
• Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and the ability to apply it in a practical, commercial way.
• Excellent coaching, influencing and stakeholder management skills.
• Confident communicator with the ability to build trusted relationships across all levels of an organisation.
• Resilient, adaptable and comfortable managing competing priorities.
• CIPD Level 5 (or above), or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience supporting business integration, mergers or acquisitions.
• Background within a growing, regulated or technology‑led organisation.
• Experience reviewing or harmonising HR policies, processes or terms and conditions.
• Exposure to HR systems implementation or migration projects.
• Payroll knowledge or experience supporting payroll processes.

This is an opportunity to join a growing organisation where you can make a genuine impact. You'll have the autonomy to take ownership of your work, contribute to meaningful people initiatives, and work alongside a supportive and collaborative People team.

• Competitive benefits package
• Flexible hybrid working
• Opportunities to contribute to business growth and continuous improvement
