HR Business Partner

Covent Garden, London

Salary: circa 50,000 Full-time Office-based (hybrid considered post-probation)

About the role

Reporting into and working closely with the Head of HR, you will operate across the full HR remit. The team values agility, curiosity and people who thrive without a rigid structure. You'll have the space to lead on areas that play to your strengths and the support to develop where you want to grow.

Key areas of focus will include:

• Full generalist HR ER, recruitment, L&D and elements of organisational design
• Being involved in implementation and embedding of a new LMS system
• Designing and delivering L&D initiatives and building a resource-share library
• Strengthening the induction process and improving the new joiner experience
• Developing the management capability programme, with particular focus on Employment Rights Act obligations
• Managing a complex ER caseload including sensitive issues.

HR Business Partner - About the role

This role will suit someone who is genuinely comfortable with complexity and ambiguity. The organisation faces some particularly nuanced ER challenges cases that don't follow a neat process and require real judgement, empathy and pragmatism.

• Solid generalist HR experience with strong ER case management skills
• Confidence handling sensitive and complex health-related cases
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where leadership can shift direction quickly; a commercially savvy CEO means decisions happen fast
• An interest in L&D and experience (or genuine enthusiasm) for systems and process improvement
• Adaptable and self-starting - this is not a role for someone who needs a centre of excellence or a rigid framework to operate within
• Team-oriented, collaborative, and happy to roll your sleeves up

The opportunity

The Head of HR is a strong people developer; several team members have joined at junior levels and grown significantly within the business. You will be encouraged to share ideas, given real exposure across the HR agenda, and empowered to take ownership. This is a place where your contribution is visible and valued.

They are open to candidates at a slightly earlier career stage who are ready to step up, as well as more experienced HR professionals looking for a role with genuine breadth and autonomy.

Benefits

• Circa 50,000 salary
• 35 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Additional day off at Christmas
• Office-based initially, with flexibility considered after probation
• Central London location Covent Garden
