Ashley Kate is pleased to be working with a leading national accountancy firm based in the Northampton region, currently on an exciting growth journey. As part of this, their People team is expanding, and they are now looking for a confident, hands-on Regional People Partner to help shape the function during this fast-paced period of transformation. This is a hybrid role, offering 2 days working from home and 3 days based in the Northampton office, with travel to other sites in the region as required. Salary: £55,000 - £65,000, dependent on experience. This isn't a business-as-usual position. With frequent M&A activity, a mix of legacy offices and newly acquired entities, and no HRIS currently in place, the team is actively building structure while delivering at pace. It's the classic case of riding the bike while building it and they need someone who can confidently navigate this transformation period. As Regional People Partner, you will support several offices across the East region, acting as a trusted advisor to local leadership. The role involves handling a broad range of people matters from managing complex employee relations cases, to embedding consistent frameworks around performance, competencies, and policies. As the firm evolves, the People team is introducing KPI frameworks, improving compliance, and shifting the conversation towards a more commercial, aligned people approach. Headcount is set to grow to around 600 employees by the end of the year. This role would suit someone confident operating in ambiguous, high-growth environments, with the ability to bring gravitas and structure to people issues from day one. Experience within professional services or a multi-entity setting would be highly beneficial.
