Ashley Kate is pleased to be working with a leading national accountancy firm who are currently on an exciting growth journey. Due to maternity, they are now looking for a confident, hands-on Regional People Partner on a 12-15 month FTC to help shape the function during this fast-paced period of transformation. This is a hybrid role, offering 2 days working from home and 3 days based in the office, with travel to other sites in the region as required, covering sites across the East of England and South.
This isn’t a business-as-usual position. With frequent M&A activity, a mix of legacy offices and newly acquired entities, they need someone who can confidently navigate this transformation period and partner with business leaders across all elements of the partnering piece. From implementing career frameworks, through to learning and development with management to talent mapping and succession planning, all whilst ensuring the wider HR strategy is followed and implemented smoothly.
As Regional People Partner, you will support several offices across the East & South region, acting as a trusted advisor to local leadership. The role involves handling a broad range of people matters from managing complex employee relations cases to embedding consistent frameworks around performance, competencies, and policies.
As the firm evolves, the People team is introducing KPI frameworks, improving compliance, and shifting the conversation towards a more commercial, aligned people approach. This role would suit someone confident operating in ambiguous, high-growth environments, with the ability to bring gravitas and structure to people issues from day one. Experience within professional services or a multi-entity setting would be highly beneficial.
What’s on Offer:
- Salary up to £6,000
- Hybrid working: 3 days in-office, 2 from home - East of England is a strong location
- Private medical cover
- 25 days holiday
- Life assurance (x2)
- Dental and optical cash plan
- 4% pension contribution (salary sacrifice scheme in rollout phase)
What You’ll Need:
- Proven experience in a HR Business Partner role, ideally within professional services
- Hands-on experience supporting M&A or transformation programmes
- CIPD Level 7 (or equivalent) preferred; minimum of Level 5 required
- Willingness and flexibility to travel within the region
If you thrive in a hands-on environment and have a strong track record in HR partnering, transformation, and M&A.
