Need a role where you can hit the ground running, make an impact quickly, and genuinely partner with the business? This one’s for you.
  
We’re working with a large, complex organisation operating across multiple locations nationally, with a significant frontline workforce and a fast-moving commercial environment. They’re looking for an experienced HR Business Partner to step into a key 6-month contract, supporting their largest and most dynamic business unit.
  
  
What you’ll be doing
  • Work as a dynamic duo with the Senior HRBP to support the largest portfolio within the organisation (approx. 600 employees)
  • Lead key cyclical activities (performance, remuneration and talent reviews)
  • Get stuck into employee relations — performance, grievances, and everything in between
  • Work directly with frontline leaders, including site-based managers
  • Provide practical, commercially grounded advice that actually lands
  
This is very much about keeping things moving, building trust quickly, and adding value from day one.
  
  
The environment
You’ll be joining a well-connected, supportive HR team with a good mix of tenure and fresh thinking. It’s a collaborative group that works closely together but gives you the autonomy to run your space.
There’s also a lot of change in parts of the business, so you’ll need to be comfortable stepping into a shifting environment and being a steady, credible voice.
  
With HQ in the south east, there are hybrid working arrangements in place (3 days in office/2 days WFH)
  
  
What makes you a great fit
You’re a confident, down-to-earth HR Business Partner who knows how to balance relationships with results.
You’ll bring:
  • Demonstrated capability in a similar HR Business Partner role
  • Sound employee relations capability — you’re calm, pragmatic, and solutions-focused
  • The ability to build trust quickly with leaders at all levels
  • A commercial mindset — you understand how decisions impact the business
  • A flexible, adaptable approach — you’re comfortable with ambiguity
  • Confidence to work autonomously and bring your own point of view
  •  
Most importantly, you’re someone who can step in, pick things up quickly, and make life easier for the leaders you support.
  
This is a great opportunity with a reputable national organisation and reporting into a dynamic, supportive and impressive Head of Business Partnering.
