Job description

We are Hestia. We make a difference. At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a HR Business Partner to play a pivotal role in our Human Resources department in London.

What will I be doing?

As a HR Business Partner (HRBP), you will be responsible for connecting the company's human resources (HR) strategies with the overall business goals. This role involves advising managers and leaders on how to manage employees effectively, improve workplace culture, and support the company's growth. HRBPs support various HR tasks, including hiring, employee development, performance reviews, and handling workplace issues. They ensure that the company's HR policies and practices are legal, fair, and aligned with both employee and business needs.

What do I need to bring with me?

You should demonstrate the core skills required for this role and align with our values and mission. You don’t need to meet all the qualifications immediately; a willingness to learn is key. We also value lived experience related to the areas we support, so please mention this if applicable in your application.

Here's what the team will be looking for

We seek candidates with experience as an HR Business Partner in fast-paced, change-oriented environments, including experience leading business change and TUPE. You should have at least 5-7 years of HR Business Partnering or HR Manager experience and be fully CIPD qualified, ideally at Level 7. Proven ability to build successful relationships with stakeholders, enabling debate, discussion, and challenge as appropriate, is essential. Excellent communication, problem-solving skills, and a strong knowledge of employment law are required. Significant experience and knowledge of TUPE, restructuring, change management, consultation processes, and redundancy are also desirable.

Interview Steps

Our interview process is straightforward:

1. Shortlisting call: A recruitment specialist will discuss your experience, motivations, and values, and tell you about our work.
2. Face-to-face interview: You will meet with the hiring manager for a value and competency-based interview.

Additional stages may occur, but we keep the process transparent.

We serve a diverse community, and we hire from all backgrounds to strengthen our organisation.
