HR Business Partner / HR Consultant - full or part-time (min 25 hpw over 5 days)
If you're here it means you might be interested in joining our team. Yay!
We are an award-winning B Corporation providing HR and Management Development services.
The great thing about the role is that no two days are the same. Our clients are all at different stages of their HR journey, so you may be helping them hire their first ever employee, managing a programme of change for an established SME or supporting an employee relations case in an organisation that is hundreds of years old.
Our small, busy HR team is ready to welcome you and help get you up to speed on what can be a challenging, but ultimately rewarding role. We get together regularly and use MS Teams to stay closely in touch throughout the day; all the benefits of working from home with a chance to build supportive and lasting relationships.
We strive to ensure our company is as diverse as our client base and feels inclusive. This means that whatever your background, providing you have the skills to perform in your HR job, we would love to hear from you. Plus we welcome conversations around new ways of working to ensure we meet this aim.
