A successful business is looking for an accomplished HR Manager to join its team. The organisation embraces flexibility and hybrid working so you can work from home 2 days per week if preferred.

In this standalone role you will report to the Managing Director and play a key role in shaping the people agenda during a significant period of transformation and growth. You will develop and deliver people strategies that support business objectives. Working across both manufacturing and office-based teams, you will drive initiatives focused on talent attraction, workforce planning, employee engagement, leadership development, and organisational effectiveness.

The successful candidate will manage employee relations matters, support transformation projects, and use workforce data to inform decision-making. You will play an important role in embedding improved processes and helping create a high-performing, inclusive, and safety-focused culture.

You will lead recruitment and retention activities, support succession planning, and help ensure the business has the skills and capability required for future growth. A key aspect of the role will be coaching and supporting managers on employee relations, performance management, and leadership capability, while providing practical and commercially focused HR guidance.

To succeed in this role, you will have be an accomplished HR Manager or HR Business Partner with a strong knowledge of UK employment law, excellent stakeholder management skills, and the ability to balance strategic thinking with a hands-on approach. CIPD level 5 or 7 accreditation is preferred but not essential.

This is an excellent opportunity for an HR professional looking to influence change, support growth, and contribute to the long-term success of a developing business.
