Are you an experienced HR professional with a passion for getting the details right and supporting meaningful work in the Care sector? We’re looking for a Part‑Time HR Project Manager to help us strengthen and modernise our people practices.
About the Role

You’ll also support a range of ad‑hoc HR projects, helping us ensure our practices remain compliant, consistent, and centred around our people and the high‑quality care we provide.

We’re looking for someone who brings:
* Strong experience in HR policy review, compliance, and project management.
* A solid understanding of UK employment law and HR best practice.
* Experience in (or a strong appreciation of) the care or social care sector.
* Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage priorities across multiple projects.
* A proactive, practical, and people‑centred approach — someone who enjoys making a genuine difference.
What We Offer
* Flexible working pattern (2–3 days per week, hybrid or remote options).
* The chance to lead meaningful HR projects that directly support our teams and the people we care for.
* A supportive, values‑led culture where your expertise will be valued and your work will have real impact.
