Are

We’re
entering a pivotal year of growth and transformation, with cross‑business
programmes that need senior HR leadership and momentum. As our new Senior HR
Business Partner (12‑month FTC), you’ll operate flexibly across sectors, partnering
with HR Directors, Business Partners, and our Centres of Excellence (including
HR Change and HR Operations), to lead high‑priority people projects, remove
blockers, and keep delivery on track.
This
role isn’t tied to a single area. You’ll go where the impact is highest:
shaping strategy, rolling up your sleeves on execution, and making sure change
lands well for our colleagues and leaders.
We
can offer great career progression opportunities, ability to be based anywhere
across the UK, benefits which you can flex to meet your needs, and training and
development opportunities.
This
role is hybrid, with some travel to our UK offices, depending on the area of
the business that you are supporting.
What
you'll be doing:
- Lead and take ownership of agreed sector‑wide people programmes, ensuring they progress at pace.
- Build strong, independent relationships with senior stakeholders to influence direction and decision‑making.
- Act as a key link between HR and the business, ensuring aligned priorities and smooth collaboration.
- Plan and deliver sector‑level change initiatives, ensuring effective coordination and execution.
- Provide senior‑level project and change‑focused HR business partnering across complex organisational activity.
- Deliver complex HR and organisational initiatives that strengthen growth, capability, and overall organisational effectiveness.
What
you’ll bring:
- Proven experience operating as an HR Business Partner within a complex, matrixed or professional services environment.
- Demonstrable background in supporting and delivering change programmes, including large‑scale transformation and business‑wide initiatives.
- Strong organisational design expertise, with experience shaping structures, roles and capabilities to meet evolving business needs.
- Hands‑on experience managing restructures, consultation activity and workforce transitions in a pragmatic and commercially aware way.
- Comfortable providing strategic and operational HR generalist support, advising senior stakeholders and influencing at pace.
- Ideally CIPD‑qualified with up‑to‑date knowledge of HR best practice and the ability to apply it in a fast‑moving environment.
If
you’re interested in this role but not sure if your skills and experience are
