You will:

• Provide specialist proactive HR advice/coaching to line managers and employees.
• Resolve straightforward and complex people issues to deliver commercially pragmatic outcomes in line with best practice.
• Lead on implementing organisational change developments including restructures, pay and grading where appropriate.
• Working closely with senior leadership and cascading through the management team to embed a leadership approach that is unique to them and drives excellence.

Our client is looking for an ambitious, commercially focused and pragmatic HR leader with an expert knowledge of employment practice, employment legislation, ER and resourcing.

You’ll have a demonstrable ability to challenge and influence constructively at all levels, creative thinking and an innovative approach to projects/tasks. You’ll come with great pace, energy, enthusiasm and the ability to deal with ambiguity.

This role will suit an existing Head of HR, or an experienced SHRBP/ HRBP with strong experience of working in a fast paced, rapidly evolving environment, whether privately owned of PR/VC backed and who thrives in smaller, experienced HR teams. Could this fantastic, newly created role be the prefect career move for you?
