HR isn't just a support function here. It's a chance to build something.
We're looking for an experienced HR professional to become our permanent in-house HR Officer for our growing business.
This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain existing processes. You'll help shape them.
Working alongside our Managing Director, Senior Managers and external HR Consultant, you'll play a key role in developing a modern, commercially focused HR function that supports both our people and our ambitious growth plans.
You'll still be involved in the day-to-day HR activitybut equally you'll have the opportunity to improve how we recruit, onboard, develop and retain our people.
If you're someone who enjoys making things better rather than simply maintaining the status quo, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll be doing

About you

More importantly, we're looking for someone who understands that good HR is about building relationships. You'll know when to support, when to coach and when to challenge.
You'll enjoy working closely with operational managers, helping them develop their confidence whilst ensuring the business remains legally compliant and commercially focused.
We're not looking for someone who hides behind policy. We're looking for someone who can explain the "why", influence others positively and bring people with them.
You'll probably have:
CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent experience)
Around 5 years' HR Generalist experience
Strong knowledge of UK employment law
Excellent recruitment and retention experience
Experience supporting employee relations matters
Confidence writing professional correspondence and HR documentation
Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
