About the role
We are looking for an experienced People/HR Business Partner with strong employee relations expertise to provide hands-on, pragmatic people support across the business during a period of growth and integration. Working with a small team across the country, you will own a varied employee relations caseload and partner with managers across the organisation as the business continues to evolve.
You will be equally comfortable advising managers on day-to-day people matters and rolling up your sleeves to deliver complex people projects. This role would suit someone who has thrived in a fast-paced start-up or scale-up and is energised, rather than daunted, by ambiguity and pace.
What you will be doing
* Employee relations: manage a busy and varied ER caseload end to end, including disciplinaries, grievances, performance, absence and capability, providing clear, commercial and legally sound advice to managers at all levels.
* Change and integration: support and deliver organisational change and people projects, ensuring sound process and fair outcomes throughout.
* Manager support build line manager capability and confidence, coaching them to handle people issues earlier and more effectively.
* Policy and compliance: interpret, apply and help harmonise people policies across the integrating business, keeping practice up to date with employment law.
* Organisational design: contribute to organisational design and workforce planning as teams are brought together and refined.
* People projects: support wider integration and improvement projects across the People team as priorities require.
* Data and insight: use people data to spot trends, manage risk and inform decisions.
What we are looking for
Essential
* Demonstrable HR Business Partner (or senior HR Advisor) experience with a strong, autonomous employee relations track record.
* Confident managing complex ER cases end to end with minimal supervision.
* Hands-on experience of delivering organisational and people change in a fast-moving environment.
* Experience gained in a start-up, scale-up or other fast-paced, high-change environment.
* Sound, up-to-date working knowledge of UK employment law and how to apply it commercially
* Pragmatic, resilient and comfortable with ambiguity, competing priorities and pace.
* Clear, credible communicator able to build trust quickly with managers and employees.
* CIPD qualified (Level 5 or above) or equivalent experience.
Please note, due to the rural location of the office and limited public transport options, applicants must have a full UK driving licence and access to their own vehicle.
Desirable
* Experience of post-merger or post-acquisition integration.
* Exposure to telecoms, infrastructure, technology or another regulated, scaling sector.
* Experience harmonising policies, terms or systems across multiple legacy entities.
* Familiarity with HRIS migration or implementation
* Familiarity with running payroll.
