Burton Recruitment has been retained on behalf of this well-established, fast-scaling business.

Approaching 40 employees and growing, they’ve reached the point where they need a dedicated people professional to own the HR function and actively drive culture as the business scales.

Reporting directly to the COO, you’ll take ownership of the full people function as a standalone hire. Day-to-day HR, employee relations, and people ops on one side, with culture, engagement, recognition, and making this a genuinely great place to work on the other.

Key responsibilities will include:

Owning day-to-day HR matters: contracts, policies, grievances, disciplinaries, and employee concerns
Supporting managers and department heads with difficult conversations, performance management, and development
Taking ownership of employee engagement, wellbeing, and recognition initiatives
Supporting recruitment, onboarding, and probation reviews
Helping coordinate appraisals and performance review processes
Bringing fresh ideas around culture and experience to the table

The ideal candidate:

Solid HR generalist background with confident employment law knowledge
Experience in a growing, fast-moving business
Personality that matches the brief: energetic, approachable, commercially minded, and practical
Someone hands-on enough to build the function rather than inherit a finished one
CIPD qualified

In return the company offers an exceptional working environment with great people, plenty of socials, monthly bonuses and more.
