Job description

Position: HR Business Partner

Location: Lothian, Fife, Glasgow & Tayside (Field-based)

Salary: up to £52,000 plus car allowance and excellent benefits

Looking for an HR role where you'll genuinely influence business decisions rather than simply support them?

I'm partnering with a well-established, forward-thinking healthcare organisation that's investing heavily in the future of its people and services. They're looking for an experienced HR Business Partner to work directly alongside the Managing Director, helping shape workforce strategy across a multi-site operation.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded HR professional who enjoys balancing strategic projects with hands‑on operational support. You'll play a key role in transforming how teams are structured, developed and supported across the business, making a real impact on both colleagues and customers.

The Role

As HR Business Partner, you'll be a trusted advisor to senior leadership, providing strategic and operational HR support across a diverse network of locations.

• Partnering closely with the Managing Director to develop and deliver the people strategy.
• Leading workforce planning initiatives to improve staffing models, reduce agency and temporary labour reliance, and optimise labour costs.
• Supporting managers through employee relations matters, including performance, conduct, absence and organisational change.
• Driving learning, development and succession planning to build capability across the business.
• Using people data and HR metrics to identify trends, inform decision-making and influence business strategy.
• Championing employee engagement, retention and a positive workplace culture.

About You

• Previous experience in an HR Business Partner or Senior HR Advisor position.
• Experience supporting multi‑site operations, ideally within retail, healthcare, FMCG or another fast‑paced customer‑facing environment.
• Strong knowledge of UK employment legislation and confidence managing complex employee relations cases independently.
• Commercial awareness with the ability to interpret workforce and financial data.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills with the confidence to influence senior leaders while coaching line managers.
• CIPD Level 5 or Level 7 qualification (or equivalent experience) is desirable but not essential.
• A willingness to travel regularly across sites throughout Lothian, Fife, Glasgow and Tayside.

What's on Offer?

• Company car allowance
• Annual salary review linked to performance
• Staff discount scheme
• The opportunity to work closely with an ambitious leadership team and genuinely shape the future direction of the organisation's people strategy.

If you're looking for a role where you'll have real influence, plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to make a lasting impact within a growing organisation, I'd love to hear from you.
