Your new role

As HR Business Partner you will be the senior HR presence on site, taking full ownership of the people agenda across the operation. This is a hands-on generalist role with a clear mandate to build a solid, consistent people framework (contracts, policies, time and attendance, recruitment, absence, performance and a full employee relations caseload). You will partner closely with operational and functional leaders across finance, technical and R&D, coaching managers and driving consistent, fair people practice across the site.

  • Credibility and confidence with operational managers and senior leaders, with a pragmatic, straight-talking style
  • The appetite to do the operational work as well as the strategic thinking, in a business going through change
  • CIPD qualification or equivalent practical experience
  • What you'll get in return

    A salary up to Β£60,000, with genuine flexibility beyond that for candidates who bring strongmercial experience. The role is Monday to Friday, site-based in Newry, with supportive flexibility on start and finish times. Most importantly, you get ownership: the chance to build an HR function properly, on your terms, in a business that is investing, expanding and openlymitted to changing how it operates with clear scope to grow your remit and your team as the business grows.
