HR Business Partner

Our client is a respected and well-established business operating within the food sector.

The business needs someone with presence and confidence, a partner who can challenge, influence and lead with credibility at every level.

• Partner with operational leaders to deliver a proactive, strategic HR service.
• Lead and implement HR initiatives that drive engagement, capability, and business performance.
• Support the senior team in workforce planning, succession, and organisational design.
• Coach and influence leaders to develop their people leadership skills.
• Translate business needs into practical HR strategies and solutions.
• Contribute to the wider strategic direction of the business through data-driven insights and sound HR judgement.

Required

• CIPD Level 7 (or equivalent) is essential.
• Proven experience as an HR Business Partner in a fast-paced, operational environment.
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to link people initiatives to business outcomes.
• Gravitas and resilience, someone who can hold their own and challenge constructively.
• Ideally experience within the food, FMCG, or fresh produce sectors.
• A confident communicator with a balance of strategic thinking and hands‑on delivery when needed.
