Job description

Shape the employee experience in a business that's growing fast and putting people first.

This is an opportunity for an experienced HR professional who wants more than policies and process. As HR Business Partner, you'll be a trusted advisor to leaders, a champion for employees, and a key contributor to building a workplace where people can perform at their best.

You’ll join a business that values autonomy, continuous improvement and meaningful employee engagement, giving you the opportunity to influence decisions and make a visible impact across the organisation.

The Mission

As Bytes continues to grow, we're looking for an HR Business Partner who can help leaders navigate people challenges, strengthen employee engagement, and ensure our people practices evolve alongside the business. Working closely with managers, employees and the wider HR team, you'll provide practical guidance, drive positive workplace experiences, and help create an environment where people feel supported, heard and empowered to succeed.

What You’ll Deliver

In your first 6–12 months, you'll:

• Partner with leaders and managers to build confidence in people management and employment best practice.
• Strengthen employee engagement through meaningful initiatives, feedback programmes and action plans.
• Support the resolution of complex employee relations matters fairly, consistently and confidently.
• Enhance HR policies and processes to ensure they remain effective, compliant and aligned to business needs.
• Drive wellbeing initiatives that support a positive, psychologically safe working environment.
• Use employee feedback and engagement data to identify opportunities for improvement and influence change.
• Contribute to the development of a high-performing HR function through collaboration, coaching and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Bring

We're looking for someone who has:

• Significant HR experience in a business partnering or generalist HR role.
• Strong employee relations knowledge and experience managing complex people matters.
• The ability to build credibility and influence at all levels of an organisation.
• Excellent communication, coaching and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience working with HR systems and using data to support decision-making.
• A pragmatic, people-focused approach with strong empathy and sound judgement.
• CIPD qualification and experience within a commercial environment would be advantageous.

Why Bytes?

Bytes is one of the UK's leading IT solutions businesses, helping organisations modernise, innovate and achieve more through technology. Behind that success is a people-first culture that recognises great performance, supports development and encourages individuals to shape their own careers.

What makes this role different is the breadth of impact. You'll work across the full employee lifecycle, partner directly with leaders, influence how we engage and support our people, and contribute to a growing organisation where HR has a genuine voice at the table.

You’ll have the autonomy to make improvements, the support to develop professionally, and the opportunity to help shape the experience of hundreds of employees across the business.
