People Partner & Recruitment Manager

What the job involves

Join our dynamic People and Culture team as a People Partner and Recruitment Manager! Your role is to influence and drive our people strategy and manage the delivery of an outstanding, inclusive recruitment service. This means ensuring a great experience for candidates and compliance with all relevant legislation and best practice to enable us to attract, recruit and retain the best candidates, whatever the role. You’ll manage our Recruitment Advisor and drive continuous optimisation of our recruitment approach, tools, and processes. This supports the wider people strategy and our goals around equity, diversity, and inclusion.

As part of our busy and growing team, you'll navigate a fast-paced and demanding environment. Your hands-on role revolves around people, so a people-centric approach is essential. Building trust as a reliable advisor to senior leaders, managers, and employees is crucial. This trust will empower you to handle complex employee relations cases and identify opportunities to support and enhance people solutions for business objectives and employee experience.

You'll have many chances to develop and grow your knowledge as an engaged member of cross-organisational projects or working groups. These groups focus on our employee value proposition, advancing racial equity, and broader Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion initiatives to name a few!

What we want from you

With a demonstrable background in HR and Recruitment (CIPD/REC Level 5/4 or equivalent experience), you’ll be a people orientated, self-motivated and hands-on People Partner and Recruitment Manager. You'll be an expert in delivering HR generalist services, including recruitment, throughout the entire employee journey. Your deep understanding of current employment legislation, best practices, and experience in building effective relationships with leaders, managers, and employees make you well-suited for managing complex employee relations cases. You'll also be comfortable making decisions and problem solving on day-to-day people matters.

You’ll have strong interpersonal skills and integrity, being able to communicate well with others and quickly build credibility. Naturally, you'll prioritise confidentiality and discretion while handling sensitive information in your trusted role.

With experience of managing a small team, and/or of coaching and supporting less experienced colleagues you'll be able to further develop their knowledge and apply this on a practical level to affect and influence decision making within the organisation.
