The Role

Are you a dynamic and proactive HR / ER professional ready to make a real impact in a fast‑paced environment? Reporting to the Senior HR Business Partner, you'll be the go‑to person for HR guidance. You'll guide managers across the Midlands on all HR matters, offering comprehensive support throughout the entire employee journey. Expect a role where you'll ensure legal compliance, provide swift and high‑quality HR solutions, and contribute to exciting HR projects alongside the HRBP, CPO, and HR Project Manager.

This is a hybrid role with 1 day in the office and the flexibility to travel when required, 37.5 hours per week (Monday‑Friday), 52 weeks per year.

What You'll be Doing

You’ll be the regional HR guru, making sure everyone's employee journey is a happy one!

You’ll be the go‑to person for those tricky HR issues relating to company policy and procedure that cannot be resolved by the HR Service Centre.

Building genuine relationships with key stakeholders, managers and employees, making their experience here fantastic from start to finish – you'll be proactively shaping their journey with us.

Use your HR expertise to provide fantastic support to exciting projects within your region.

Provide support and guidance on the fascinating world of industrial relations, including trade union involvement, redundancy support, and navigating TUPE like a pro.

Happy to jump in and help out on projects when needed – teamwork makes the dream work!

Always learning and growing? You'll be encouraged to stay up‑to‑date with the latest HR trends and bring your knowledge to the team.

What You’ll Bring

You’ll have your CIPD Level 3 (and be itching to get to Level 5!), or you’re already an HR Advisor with plenty of experience.

You're brilliant at coaching, counselling, and performance management skills.

A true people‑person, you're a natural at building great relationships with everyone you work with, from managers to the whole team.

You're a clear communicator, incredibly organised, and can juggle priorities like a pro.

You have experience in reporting and analysing data, and are a whiz with Excel and Google Sheets.

You're an all‑round HR Generalist who knows the ins and outs of HR policies, processes and practices, and can quickly identify an employee relations issue a mile away!

Please note, we expect all staff to share our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children / young people, so an enhanced DBS disclosure will be sought by the company.
