A large regulated infrastructure business is recruiting a People Partner to support its operational teams in the South East. This is a hands-on, ER-led generalist role.

The role:

- Advise and coach managers on policy, procedure and employment law compliance
- Reduce case volume through early intervention rather than reactive firefighting
- Design and deliver manager training on performance and absence management
- Run performance reviews with apprentices and identify wider training needs
- Support Senior People Partners on restructure and change projects
- Maintain accurate people data and produce team reporting (GDPR-compliant)
What you'll need:
- Background as an HR Advisor, ER Specialist or People Partner
- Solid employment law knowledge and live casework experience
- Track record advising and influencing senior operational stakeholders
- Experience building and delivering manager training
- Exposure to organisational change
- Commercial, numerate, and comfortable with shifting priorities
- CIPD Level 5 or above, or equivalent experience
