• Building strong relationships and delivering high-quality, timely HR support

To be considered for the role you will need:

• CIPD Level 5 (or working towards) highly desirable
• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, ideally with small businesses or outsourced HR providers
• Hands‑on experience managing complex ER cases
• Strong communication, influencing, and relationship‑building skills
• Tech‑savvy with HR software (PeopleHR / SenseHR / Bright HR experience a plus)
• Resilient, adaptable, and customer‑focused with a passion for development

Why join our team?

• Be part of a forward‑thinking team shaping outsourced HR provision
• Work closely with diverse small businesses, making a real impact
• Immediate opportunity to grow, progress, and develop your career
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays (pro‑rate for part time)
