About this Role:

To act as a strategic and hands-on HR Business Partner to managers, focusing on complex Employee Relations (ER), manager capability, and the full employee lifecycle.

Employee Relations (ER)

Lead complex and sensitive ER cases (e.g., grievance, disciplinary, capability, long-term absence, change). Upskill managers to handle lower-level ER matters independently; develop tools and guidance to support this.
Talent, Succession & Workforce Planning

Identify critical roles and successors; maintain succession and talent pipelines. Support annual performance, talent, and reward cycles with clear guidance and data. Feed development needs into L&D plans and targeted programmes (e.g., ER capability for managers, career pathways and employee and manager development).

Oversee and manage the day-to-day HR administration, including payroll inputs and pension processing and onboarding. Oversee quality and consistency of HR processes (onboarding, probation, changes to terms, exits).
Change & Organisation Development

Support organisational change (e.g., restructures, role changes, post-acquisition integration and TUPE processes).
HR Data, Reporting & Compliance

Analyse ER, absence, turnover, and headcount data to identify trends and recommend interventions. Ensure policies are current, consistently applied, and understood by managers. Maintain accurate records and ensure compliance with HR systems and processes.

Essential Skills:

Proven experience as an HR Business Partner. CIPD Level 5 (or working towards). Strong ER case management experience (disciplinary, grievance, capability, absence).
