An excellent opportunity has arisen for a confident and experienced HR professional to join a large, growing organisation as a Regional HR Business Partner.
You’ll act as the main HR contact for leaders across a portfolio of sites, building strong relationships and providing straightforward, solution-focused support. The role combines hands-on employee relations casework with wider business partnering responsibilities, including organisational change, manager coaching, recruitment, compliance and people projects.

- Taking ownership of complex disciplinary, grievance, absence, capability and performance cases
- Supporting managers through organisational change and consultation processes
- Coaching stakeholders on effective people management
- Supporting recruitment, onboarding, employee engagement and compliance activity
- Ensuring people policies and processes are applied consistently
- Supporting the integration of new locations, employees and working practices
- Working collaboratively with specialist and central support teams
- Reviewing people data to highlight trends and areas requiring action
- Supporting strategic HR projects and wider organisational priorities
About you
You’ll already have experience operating at HR Business Partner level or in a comparable generalist role. You’ll be confident handling complex employee relations matters independently and able to build trusted relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
You’ll also need:
- Strong generalist HR knowledge
- Experience working across multiple locations
- Knowledge of UK employment legislation
- Experience supporting change, restructuring or transformation
- Strong communication, influencing and coaching skills
- A commercial and pragmatic approach
- The resilience to work effectively in a fast-paced environment
