A well-established and highly regarded group operating within the healthcare sector is looking to appoint an HR Manager to join its team near Birmingham. This is a genuine generalist role with real breadth — you'll be the go-to HR expert across the business, shaping people strategy one moment and getting stuck into hands-on casework the next.
If you're an experienced HR professional looking for a role where you'll be visible, trusted and genuinely able to make a difference — healthcare experience not required — this one is worth a closer look.
What you'll be doing:
- Acting as the trusted HR partner for managers and colleagues across the business, providing timely and commercially-minded advice
- Owning the full spectrum of employee relations — disciplinaries, grievances, absence, performance and complex casework
- Driving recruitment and onboarding, working closely with hiring managers to attract and retain the right talent
- Shaping, reviewing and rolling out HR policies, procedures and frameworks in line with best practice
- Championing learning and development initiatives across the group
- Tracking key people metrics and using data to spot trends and inform decision-making
- Ensuring the business stays fully compliant with UK employment law and internal policy
- Leading on HR projects, change initiatives and organisational development work
- Promoting employee engagement, wellbeing and an inclusive culture
What we're looking for:
- Proven track record in a generalist HR management role
- CIPD Level 5 or Level 7 qualified (or working towards)
- Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice
- Confident writing, reviewing and implementing HR policies
- Experience coaching and upskilling managers on people matters
- Solid exposure to employee relations casework from start to finish
- Excellent communication and influencing skills — able to hold your own with senior stakeholders
- Highly organised, able to juggle competing priorities and manage your own workload
- A hands-on, pragmatic and solution-focused approach
- Healthcare experience is not required — strong generalist HR managers from any sector are welcomed
Why this role?
- Salary of up to £50,000 depending on experience
- Join a well-established and respected group within the healthcare sector
- A broad, varied remit with real ownership of the HR function
- Meaningful, purpose-led work within a sector that genuinely matters
- Supportive leadership and a collaborative team environment
