Ever had to coach a manager through a tough conversation at 9am, then present workforce trends to the board by 3pm? At Lomond, our Senior Human Resources Business Partner does both. The role is offered on a flexible basis, split two days at our Troy Mills office in Horsforth, Leeds and two days across our branches in Yorkshire & Scotland, reporting to our Group Head of People Experience.
Lomond is one of the UK's largest & fastest growing property services groups, and growth like ours needs strong people foundations. This role is the hands-on HR presence managers turn to for everyday casework, while giving our leadership team the workforce insight they need to make good calls, from resolving ER cases to shaping how we manage change through acquisitions.
What you'll be doing
- Be the first point of contact for managers & colleagues on people matters across your patch, resolving issues in real time
- Build close relationships with branch & operational managers to spot problems early
- Work on ER casework, from probation & absence to disciplinary & grievance, escalating the complex cases, workforce planning, people reviews and engagement
- Coach managers through difficult conversations so they can lead people matters well
- Support colleagues directly, resolving concerns before they escalate
- Provide hands-on support through change activity, including restructures, TUPE & acquisition integration
- Flag people risk & compliance issues promptly, keeping accurate records for your patch
- Turn people data into workforce analytics that inform decisions at Executive & Board level
We're not just looking for someone who fits our team; we want to be a good fit for you too!
We're looking for individuals with qualities such as:
- Significant HR Business Partnering experience in a fast paced, multi-site or operationally led business
- A track record supporting dispersed teams across multiple brands or business units
- Experience partnering with senior leadership on organisational performance & people strategy
- Hands-on experience leading change, whether restructures, redundancy, TUPE or cultural integration
- Ability to turn complex people data into clear, commercial recommendations for senior stakeholders
Here's what you can look forward to
