Are you an experienced HR professional with strong expertise in restructures and change/transformation projects, specifically TUPE and redundancy processes? My client is seeking a proactive and confident HR Business Partner to lead on a number of organisation wide change projects as they work towards building their HR Business Partnering model.

This is a brand-new role within the organisation as they look to transform their HR service.
