People Advisor

As a People Advisor at PortmanDentex, you’ll be a friendly and trusted guide to colleagues across the group—offering thoughtful, practical support that helps teams flourish. You’ll bring empathy and expertise to every interaction, making sure our approach to people is consistent, fair and grounded in our values.

You’ll be a key part of our close-knit People Business Partnering Team and work hand in hand with our wider People teams and Operations. Together, you’ll help build workplaces where everyone feels they belong, can grow, and are celebrated for who they are and what they do.

PortmanDentex is one of the largest dental groups in the UK & Ireland - we are here to reimagine group dentistry and wellness. Our values are based on celebrating individuality, aiming higher and growing together – these values bind us together and sit at the heart of everything we do. Without them, we wouldn’t have the caring, rewarding and inspiring culture we’ve carefully cultivated. One that enables happier and healthier futures for all our clinicians, colleagues and patients.

We welcome your application to our People Advisor vacancy if you have the following qualifications and skills:

• Experienced in handling a wide range of employee relations cases with care, confidence, and compassion.
• A CIPD qualification or meaningful real-world HR experience that reflects deep commitment to people and culture.
• Comfortable working alongside external partners like ACAS, union reps, and employment lawyers to find balanced, respectful resolutions.
• A natural relationship-builder who becomes a trusted voice for colleagues and leaders alike.
• Well-versed in the employee journey and HR processes, with hands-on experience in fast-paced, change-rich settings—especially those shaped by mergers and acquisitions.

At PortmanDentex, you’ll be part of an inclusive, collaborative team environment where your development and potential are encouraged, and your new ideas and innovative approaches are welcomed. We offer a Remote or hybrid working model that allows you to split your week between working from home, and our support office in Cheltenham. This will likely be 1 or 2 days a week in the office, with full flexibility around the days that work best for you, and the rest working from home. Our office is conveniently located opposite the racecourse entrance, and features a café on-site, free parking, and beautiful parkland surroundings.

In addition to a competitive salary, our benefits package includes:

• Bonus scheme which recognises our combined contribution
• 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, special days off (such as your birthday), and the opportunity to purchase up to 3 additional annual leave days
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
• Life assurance and contributory pension scheme
• Health and Wellbeing benefits, including an expensed dental check-up and hygienist appointment per year, confidential helpline and counselling services, and access to a 24/7 GP service
