Are you an experienced HR professional with a strong track record in managing recruitment and redundancy processes?

Charity People are delighted to be supporting a values‑led charity to recruit a HR Manager on a fixed‑term basis. This newly created role will provide critical support to an overstretched HR function during a period of high‑volume recruitment and organisational change.

The organisation is navigating complex staffing transitions due to project‑based funding, and needs someone confident, compassionate, and highly capable to lead on recruitment and redundancy processes.

About the Role

Reporting to the Director of Operations, the HR Manager will lead on recruitment for a large‑scale project (10‑15 hires initially), manage redundancy and restructure processes, and support line managers with people practices and development.

You’ll play a key role in embedding inclusive, values‑driven HR practices, ensuring staff are supported through change, and helping build a culture of empathy, accountability, and respect.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage redundancy and restructure processes
• Deliver high‑volume, time‑sensitive recruitment campaigns
• Support line managers with HR policies, performance, and onboarding
• Develop and deliver training and toolkits for inclusive leadership
• Promote organisational values through all people practices
• Ensure compliance with employment law and HR best practice

About You

We’re looking for someone with strong HR generalist experience, ideally CIPD Level 5 qualified, and confident managing both recruitment and redundancy processes. You’ll be highly organised and able to deliver difficult messages with clarity and compassion.

• Minimum 3‑years in a generalist HR role
• Extensive experience in redundancy and restructure
• Strong recruitment lifecycle experience
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
