Are you an experienced HR professional with a passion for HR systems, technology and continuous improvement?

We're recruiting an HR Business Partner - HR Systems & Projects for an established, award-winning multi-site retail business.

Working closely with the Head of HR and People, you'll play a key role in improving HR systems, streamlining processes and providing trusted advice to managers and senior leaders across the business.

The Role

This is a varied position for someone who enjoys getting into the detail of HR systems while understanding the wider people and commercial needs of a business.

Your responsibilities will include:

Taking ownership of the development, configuration, maintenance and optimisation of the HRIS, ideally iTrent or a similar platform.
Supporting system upgrades, testing, implementation and troubleshooting.

Leading HR projects covering organisational change, policy development and process improvement.
Supporting workforce planning, talent management, succession planning, engagement and wellbeing initiatives.
Working with the external payroll provider to support accurate and timely payroll processing.
Coaching and training managers on HR policies, processes and systems.

About You

You'll be an experienced HR professional who combines strong generalist HR knowledge with a genuine interest in how HR systems work and how they can be improved.

You'll ideally bring:

Experience as an HR Business Partner, HR Manager or in a similar senior HR advisory role.
Strong hands-on experience of iTrent or a comparable HRIS, including system configuration and development rather than simply end-user experience.
Experience of system upgrades, testing, implementation and troubleshooting.
A good understanding of HR data, reporting and data integrity.
Experience delivering HR systems or process improvement projects.
Strong knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving and stakeholder management skills.

Experience in a multi-site environment, advanced Excel and reporting skills, and CIPD Level 7 would also be advantageous.

Above all, you'll be proactive, analytical and solutions-focused, with the confidence to challenge existing processes and find better ways of working.

What's on Offer?

A permanent, part-time position offering 20 hours per week.
Salary of £35,500 FTE, equivalent to £17,974.68 pro rata.
Flexibility to agree working days and hours.
Private medical insurance.
Company pension scheme.
