Job Type: Full-time or part-time (minimum 30 hours per week but all working patterns considered)
Salary: Circa £60,000 per annum FTE
Location: South West England. This is a hybrid role where you’ll be mainly based from home but there’ll be regular travel across the South West for client and internal meetings.
What youll be doing: You’ll lead a small, brilliant team of People Business Partners and People Advisors, supporting them to deliver consistently high-quality work for our clients. That means developing their skills, helping them manage their workload, reviewing their work when needed, and ensuring they hit their billing targets, all whilst supporting them in the best possible way.
At the same time, you’ll also manage your own portfolio of clients. You’ll be their go-to person – someone who really gets their business and can provide strategic HR advice that helps them achieve their goals. You’ll build strong, lasting relationships with them, and you’ll spot opportunities to grow the account by showing the value we can add.
