HR Business Partner (12 month FTC)
We are partnering with an established London-based organisation to recruit an experienced HR Business Partner for a 12-month maternity cover contract.
Working as part of a collaborative HR team, this is a broad and varied HR Business Partner role providing both strategic and operational support across a designated client group.
You will work closely with managers and senior stakeholders, providing pragmatic advice and guidance while supporting the delivery of wider people initiatives across the organisation.
The role will cover the full employee lifecycle, with particular responsibility for employee relations, performance management, organisational change, talent and succession, workforce planning and employee engagement.
You will coach and support managers on people matters, ensuring they are equipped to manage their teams effectively while providing hands-on support when required.
You will also contribute to HR projects and wider organisational initiatives, using people data and insight to identify trends and support decision-making.
As part of a relatively lean HR function, the successful candidate will need to be comfortable operating at both a strategic and practical level and working collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation.
We are looking for an experienced HR Business Partner with a strong generalist background and a proven track record of partnering effectively with managers and senior stakeholders.
You will have sound UK employment law knowledge, strong employee relations experience and the confidence to provide balanced, commercially aware advice.
You will be a credible and approachable HR professional who enjoys building relationships, can work effectively in a changing environment and is comfortable managing a varied workload.
Previous experience within a complex, professional or membership-led organisation would be advantageous, although candidates from other sectors with the right breadth of HR experience are equally encouraged to apply.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established organisation and take ownership of a broad HR Business Partner remit during a 12-month maternity cover period.
