Job description

Champion HR Transformation in a Fast-Growth, Acquisition-Focused Firm

Are you ready to shape the HR agenda in a business that’s expanding fast through acquisition? Streets is a dynamic, forward-thinking accountancy and advisory firm on a journey to become a top 20 UK practice. With growth fuelled by both strategic mergers and organic expansion, we’re looking for a talented Regional People Business Partner to help us build and future-proof our people capability.

Why this role? Why now?

Growth through acquisition brings complex, fast-moving change. You’ll play a pivotal role in leading HR integration, including TUPE, baseline HR audits, and driving meaningful change management across newly acquired and existing regional teams.

As our people strategy evolves, you’ll be at the heart of enhancing our HR maturity – from implementing new HR systems and performance management frameworks, to developing competency models, and strengthening employee relations and engagement. This is more than BAU – it’s a chance to be hands-on with building the future of HR at Streets.

Your Role

Reporting to our Chief People Officer, you’ll act as both strategic advisor and operational partner to our regional leadership teams. Expect to work closely with Partners, Directors and Managers to deliver a full suite of people services aligned to business goals.

Key responsibilities include:

• Partnering with leadership to translate business plans into people strategies.
• Leading on complex ER cases, restructuring, and organisational design.
• Supporting M&A activity through TUPE and integration planning.
• Driving the performance management cycle and coaching leaders on best practice.
• Enhancing onboarding and talent development initiatives.
• Leading HR transformation projects – from systems implementation to policy evolution.
• Using HR data and insights to shape and measure success.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re after an experienced, commercially savvy HR professional who thrives in a fast-paced, changing environment. You’re confident working with senior stakeholders and bring both influence and insight to the table.

You’ll need:

• Experience as a People Business Partner or similar HRBP role (ideally in professional services).
• Demonstrable exposure to change management, TUPE, employee relations, systems, policy and process implementation.
• A balance of operational agility and strategic thinking.
• Strong employment law knowledge and the confidence to advise senior leaders.
• CIPD Level 7 (or equivalent) is desirable.
• A collaborative, pragmatic, and people-first mindset.

Why Join Streets?

• A pivotal HR role in a business that’s going places.
• An open, friendly, and progressive culture.
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays.
• Hybrid working: 3 days on-site across regional offices, 2 days remote.
• Life assurance, pension, employee discount scheme and EAP access.
• Be part of a growing People team that’s ready to make its mark.
