Lead the People Strategy for a High‑Growth, Project‑Led Business.

To support this growth, the organisation is seeking to appoint a UK Head of HR with full ownership of the people function. This pivotal role combines strategic influence at board level, with hands‑on operational delivery and will play a central role in shaping the organisation’s people agenda as it scales.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead and deliver the overall people strategy aligned to business growth plans
  • Act as a trusted advisor to the senior leadership team and board
  • Support organisational design, workforce planning and capability development
  • Drive initiatives across talent, performance, engagement, and learning
  • Oversee all HR operations, including employee relations, recruitment and compliance
  • Manage complex and sensitive ER cases with confidence and sound judgement
  • Lead organisational change and transformation initiatives
  • Develop reward, governance and HR best practice frameworks
  • Collaborate with a global parent organisation on international HR initiatives

You will bring significant experience operating in a senior HR leadership role, within a multi‑site, operational environment and a proven track record of supporting organisational growth, transformation and workforce scaling.

Commercially minded and pragmatic, you will take a hands‑on approach to HR delivery and feel comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, often ambiguous environment with competing priorities. A strong understanding of UK employment law, compliance, and HR best practice is essential. CIPD Level 7 (or equivalent) is preferred.

This is a fantastic opportunity within a growing and ambitious business. If you are looking for a broad, high-impact role where you can combine strategic thinking with operational delivery, we would love to hear from you.
