Job description

I am currently supporting a client of mine based in the St Helen’s area in their search for a HR and Recruitment Business Partner. This is a brand-new role where you will work as part of the broader HR team to play a key role in delivering the people strategy, attracting great talent and supporting managers to build high-performing teams.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants more than a traditional HR role — someone who enjoys partnering with leaders, improving the employee experience and owning recruitment from attraction through to onboarding.

Your role will include:

• Acting as a trusted HR partner to managers, providing advice across the full employee lifecycle
• Managing end-to-end recruitment across a range of roles, from attraction and sourcing through to offer and onboarding, for roles both in the UK and internationally
• Building strong talent pipelines and developing creative approaches to attracting the right people
• Coaching and supporting managers on employee relations, performance, absence and people management
• Using people data and insight to identify trends and support better business decisions
• Supporting talent development, engagement and retention initiatives
• Helping to develop and continuously improve the HR and recruitment processes

The ideal candidate for this role is a credible and approachable Business Partner with experience of both generalist HR and talent acquisition. If you have managed vacancies for overseas roles this would be advantageous.

Please note this is a hybrid role with just 1 or 2 days a week required in the office. My client are also open to considering reduced hours over 4 or 5 days.
