Central London (4:1 WFH)
A unique and exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, forward-thinking Head Of People, to work for a growing, entrepreneurial real estate firm that specialises in social and affordable housing. You must be comfortable to work at pace and constant change! A great role and company to work for who value their employees. 4 days office based.
Key duties for the Head Of People
\t
* Your core mission is to ensure the company remains a place where brilliant people come to do meaningful work and build their careers.
\t
* You are a ‘doer,’ more than a delegator for the People and Operations team.
\t
* You drive the attraction, recruitment, and retention of high calibre individuals who share the company's commitment to performance, purpose, and social impact.
\t
* Roughly 80% of this role is people-related and 20% is operational process-focused.
\t
* You will be responsible for sourcing and attracting talent by being creative with recruitment tools, your network, head-hunting, job boards, and other means.
\t
* You’ll also select and partner with external recruiters, owning the entire end-to-end recruitment process across all platforms, ensuring roles are filled in the most timely and economical way.
\t
* Working closely with the Managing Director, you’ll oversee the full people journey; from hiring and onboarding, to championing the processes and systems that enable our teams to thrive.
\t
* You will elevate our employer brand to reflect who we truly are: a behaviours-driven, mission-led organisation where integrity, growth, and excellence are non-negotiable.
\t
* You will collaborate across all teams and levels to address blockers with a high sense of urgency, ensuring that our operational systems and processes never hold our teams back and that they’re not just efficient, but energising and human.
\t
* As the company grows, your mission is to protect the essence of what makes us exceptional: our people, our purpose, and our pace.
The Ideal Head Of People
\t
* Experience: you care deeply about every touchpoint in the candidate and employee journey. From the first conversation to their first day and every milestone beyond. You make sure every interaction feels purposeful, personal, and aligned with who we are.
\t
* Systems: you are obsessed with efficiency. You constantly assess how to simplify, automate, and elevate our processes, removing bottlenecks and designing systems that are scalable, human and smart.
\t
* Culture: you protect and amplify what makes the company special. You’re relentless about keeping our standards high, our values lived, and our people proud to belong here.
\t
* Connection: you build trust and relationships easily. You have high emotional intelligence, and you take the time to understand what drives people to hit their goals and visions, what there ‘why’ is and what they need to feel they’ve succeeded in their roles. People feel seen, heard, and understood by you.
\t
* Design: you don’t just follow processes; you create them. You build elegant, tech-enabled systems that make life easier and work better for everyone.
\t
* Clarity: you cut through noise with precision. Whether communicating a plan, giving feedback, or influencing decisions, you make complex things simple and inspire action.
Benefits for the Head Of People
