Strategic HR & People Leader

Salary Expectation; Negotiable, Dependant on experience Work Hours; 9.00am-5.30pm Monday-Friday (Office based role) Job Description EPH Creative is one of the UK’s creative partners for live events. We design, make and hire out the props, furniture, sets and experiential installations that bring events to life for clients across the country. The heart of the operation is in Yorkshire – design studios, workshop and warehouse all under one roof- with a satellite office in London. Around 100 of us, more at peak. We’re looking for a commercially aware and genuinely people-focused HR professional to lead our HR function. This stand-alone role sits at the centre of the business and works across every department including the workshop, warehouse and logistics teams who make up roughly half of our workforce. This is not a “keep the paperwork tidy and stay in your lane” HR role. You’ll be joining a business where you can contribute to improving culture, people practices and ways of working across the full workforce – employees, freelancers and contractors alike. You’ll work closely with Directors and Managers, balancing hands-on operational HR with strategic thinking, coaching and organisational improvement. The person we’re looking for will be just as comfortable coaching a manager through a difficult people issue as they are improving a process, reviewing a policy with the workshop team in mind, or assisting with content for our weekly staff e-flyer. This role combines: • Operational HR • Employee relations • Policy and compliance • Careers
