Summary

Turn plans into progress. Deliver people-focused change that lasts.

Are you an experienced HR project professional who can bring clarity to complex challenges, build momentum and turn priorities into measurable results?

At mhs homes, we’re committed to ending the housing crisis in North Kent. Our people are central to that mission, and we’re looking for an HR Project Manager to deliver high-priority projects that strengthen our people practices and improve how we work.

The opportunity

Reporting to our Executive Director of People and Culture, you’ll take ownership of a varied portfolio of projects across areas such as onboarding, embedding the Competency and Conduct Standard, policy engagement and implementation, wellbeing, and cultural change.

This is a hands-on delivery role: you’ll establish priorities, tackle barriers and keep projects moving, ensuring improvements are implemented, adopted and embedded within the six-month contract.

What you’ll do

• Lead complex HR projects from planning through to implementation and evaluation.
• Assess progress, resolve delivery challenges and get projects back on track where needed.
• Manage milestones, resources, budgets, risks and dependencies.
• Work collaboratively with senior leaders and colleagues to secure commitment and deliver agreed outcomes.
• Provide clear, evidence-based reporting and recommendations to support effective decision-making.
• Embed sustainable improvements, with clear ownership beyond project completion.

What you’ll bring

You’ll have substantial experience delivering complex HR or People and Culture projects, combining strong project management expertise with a sound understanding of HR practices and employment legislation.

You’ll know how to manage competing priorities, recover projects at risk and maintain momentum through ambiguity. Just as importantly, you’ll build positive relationships, influence confidently and challenge constructively.

We’re looking for someone who takes ownership, exercises sound judgement and stays focused on outcomes—not just activity.

• Training & Development and opportunities for continuing professional development including regular tool box talks
• A great team of colleagues to work with
