We are working exclusively with a well-established organisation looking for an

HR Business Partner to join their People Partnering team, supporting managers across sites in Scarborough, Bridlington, Beverley and Hull.

This is a hands‑on, varied HR role where you will act as a trusted point of contact for departmental managers, many of whom may have limited HR knowledge.

• Advising department managers on current employment law, HR policies and best practice.
• Supporting department managers through investigations, hearings and formal processes.
• Coaching and guiding managers who may not have a strong HR background, helping them understand both the process and the practical approach required.
• Supporting organisational change, restructures and people‑related projects.
• Advising on recruitment, contractual matters, performance management and the wider employee lifecycle.
