Position Summary

We are looking for an HR Business Partner to join our small but friendly Cereal Partners HR team on a permanent basis. This is an exciting opportunity for you to provide an effective business partnering service that ensures our people priorities contribute to the success and growth of our business.

A day in the life of HRBP… This is not your average HR role. This is a hands-on HR position in which you’ll have the flexibility and autonomy to make a difference, working with the Head of HR and wider HR team, to deliver a People Plan that contributes to the success of our business, and ensures that CPUK is a great place to work, with an inclusive culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

You’ll be:

• Based in Welwyn Garden City with occasional travel to other sites (including R&D in York)
• A key member of the HR team, delivering the CPUK people plan focused on business goals
• A trusted advisor, providing professional HR advice & support to managers and employees.
• Responsible for coordinating performance, talent & succession processes
• Ensuring compliance with UK Legislation and CPUK’s policies and procedures
• Using reporting tools and data to understand key trends and identifying any action required
• Coordinating the Graduate programme and the internal mentoring programme.
• Responsible for employee inductions and ensuring a positive new starter experience
• A passionate advocate for Cereal Partners culture, bringing it to life in all activities.
• Leading D&I, engagement & wellbeing activities aligned to the CPW values and promises
• Managing internal communications & maintaining The Nest (intranet) pages.
• Actively participating in the ‘Culture Club’ and other employee engagement initiatives.

We operate with a centralised employee services team and centre of excellence, so liaising and building relationships with colleagues in central HR will also be a key part of your role. This is a challenging and exciting role, so if you’re looking for somewhere where you can really make an impact, then this could be the place for you.

What will make you successful?

You are passionate about creating an engaged and inclusive culture and a great place to work. Your career so far will demonstrate a track record in operational HR, and the ability to work as a true business partner. Ideally, you’ll have a commercial HR background, but as a minimum you’ll need to have a proven track record of working within an HR role delivering initiatives that make a real difference to the business.

What you need to know

What can we offer in return? Great benefits you’d expect from a business the size of Nestlé – in the shape of a competitive salary and benefits package, bonus scheme, flexible working scheme, 25 days holiday plus statutory holidays plus flex leave, pension scheme and a real focus on personal development and growth.

The closing date for this role is Wednesday 11th June 2025. We will be considering candidates as they apply and we will occasionally close job advertisements early in the event we receive sufficient applicants, so please don’t delay in submitting your application.

At Nestlé, our values are rooted in respect – for our employees, our customers, and our consumers. That’s why championing diversity and inclusion is so important to us; when we embrace different perspectives and give everyone the chance to be the best they can be, we can think in new, creative ways that grow and enhance our business. We are committed to equal opportunity for all and we may collect relevant data for monitoring purposes during our candidate registration process.

Be yourself, everyone else is taken!
