This is one of those illusive part time roles, but being part time isn’t the whole sell. Perhaps your experience is predominantly in big corporate, and you feel a move to something a bit smaller would see you make more of a difference. O perhaps you’re looking to tick off working in a regulated or PE backed environment and work in an HR team that is actively levelling up its business partnering capability. Whatever your motivations, you’ll come into a role here with autonomy to deliver and report to a Head of HR that will back your development, even on a fixed term basis.

Reporting to the newly appointed Head of HR, you will deliver a generalist HR service to your stakeholder group which will see you act as escalation point from HRAs on ER matters, support workforce plan development including talent and succession planning, deliver change initiatives and support performance and pay cycles. A key focus for 2026, under the new Head of HR’s leadership, is to raise the profile of the business partnering team by providing more proactive, solutions focused consulting and acting as trusted advisor on strategic business decisions. To succeed in this role you will be able to read between the lines, not default to reactionary activities and will always be questioning “is there a better way, and is there a better outcome that could be achieved?”

You’ll partner with several of the corporate functions including IT, legal and marketing so bringing, where possible, an evidence based and data supported approach to guidance will see you land well with the stakeholder group. The role sits as part of the group People function so, while you steer your local HR agenda, you can expect to cascade central HR initiatives from the CPO and HOHR.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for HR Generalists with experience in mid-large scale businesses that are confident and capable influencers, and have experience in supporting the delivery of, or steering, HR projects. To be considered you should be used to working at pace and have experience working in a complex business environment i.e. multi-site, matrix or group structure. You should be a decisive individual with the ability to prioritise effectively in a varied role, whilst retaining a focus on supporting and enabling the business in reaching its performance objectives – a commercial mindset in this regard is essential.

What’s in it for you?

An opportunity to join an equity backed fast-paced business that will give you the exposure and experience to develop your CV in an evolving HR environment. You’ll work in a high trust team where the key deliverable is outcomes. As well as being a flexible hybrid role, you’ll have the option to buy more holiday and will have a health cash plan to support your wellbeing. How you work your 30 hours is up to you – over 4 or 5 days, and if 4 there is no preference to the non-working day.
