If you're looking for a role where no two days are the same, where your ideas are valued and where you can continue to grow your HR partnering skills, this could be the perfect next step for you.

What's in it for you?

  • Discretionary annual bonus up to 20%
  • 33 days' holiday (including bank holidays, 5 of which can be taken flexibly)
  • Hybrid working with up to 2 days working from home

Key responsibilities

What you'll be doing

  • Making change happen: Supporting organisational design and transformation projects, helping our teams navigate change and ensuring we have the right structures in place for the future.
  • Bringing people plans to life: Working with business leaders and the Senior HR Business Partner to deliver people initiatives that support our commercial priorities.
  • Spotting opportunities to do things better: Challenging existing processes, bringing fresh thinking and driving continuous improvement across our people practices.
  • Being a trusted partner: Coaching and supporting managers through people challenges, helping them make confident decisions and build high-performing teams.
  • Developing our talent: Supporting performance, talent and succession planning, helping us identify and develop the people who will drive our future success.
  • Keeping things moving: Taking ownership of key HR activities, including engagement surveys, reward processes, employee relations and other cyclical people activity, making sure things are followed through and delivered.

Required skills & experience

You'll ideally bring:

  • Broad HR generalist experience, ideally gained in a fast-paced, commercial OR retail environment.
  • Experience supporting organisational change, with an interest in organisational design and continuous improvement.
  • The confidence to coach, influence and constructively challenge managers and stakeholders.

  • Strong organisational skills, with the ability to juggle competing priorities and see things through to completion.
  • A proactive mindset, sound judgement and the confidence to spot opportunities and take ownership.
