Job description

Overview

Are you an experienced HR Business Partner ready to make a real impact in a growing professional services firm? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business that's expanding rapidly through acquisition, with plenty of scope to shape and influence the HR agenda.

Why this role?

Growth through acquisition brings challenge and opportunity in equal measure. As Regional HR Business Partner, you'll be at the centre of integrating newly acquired offices, supporting leaders through change, and embedding strong HR practices. You'll work across multiple sites in the South, with Exeter as the preferred hub, and monthly travel to the Northampton head office.

This isn't a "steady state" role, it's a highly commercial, hands-on position where you'll play a key part in shaping the future of the people function.

What you'll be doing

• Building relationships with newly acquired offices and supporting their transition.
• Leading on TUPE, workforce planning and integration projects.
• Advising managers on people-related issues, with minimal day-to-day ER.
• Streamlining HR processes and ensuring consistency across regions.
• Acting as a trusted partner to regional leadership, supporting business goals.
• Helping embed new systems, policies, and frameworks to strengthen HR maturity.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience as an HR Business Partner (ideally in professional services, but open sector-wise).
• Strong understanding of change management, TUPE, and workforce planning.
• Commercially minded, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
• Confident with HR data, policy, and systems.
• Collaborative, pragmatic and comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing environment.
• CIPD Level 7 (or equivalent) desirable.

The offer

• Salary: 50,000-65,000 (depending on experience).
• Hybrid working: 3 days in office, 2 days from home.
• Travel to regional sites (occasional overnight stays, c.1 per month).
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays.
• Pension, life assurance, EAP and employee discount scheme.
• Please note - you must have a full UK license and access to a car. Visa Sponsorship is not available for this role.

Following your application, if you are shortlisted, we will be in touch via email with some pre-screening questions.

If you're looking for a role where you can combine day-to-day HR partnering with big-picture transformation, this is your chance to be part of an ambitious and forward-thinking firm.
