We are recruiting on behalf of a forward-thinking organisation for a Senior HR Officer who is passionate about people, performance, and progress—not just policies and procedures.

This is a hands-on, strategic HR role where you will be the trusted partner to managers across multiple teams. You’ll coach, mentor, and guide leaders to achieve their objectives, while ensuring HR services are proactive, supportive, and future-focused. You’ll act as the bridge between strategy and people, supporting transformation, organisational growth, and workforce development.

  • Ensure policies are fit-for-purpose, empowering employees and managers alike.

  • Align HR support with organisational objectives, helping leaders deliver results.

  • Deliver the full HR service including case management, recruitment, workforce planning, wellbeing, change management, and pensions administration.

  • Champion employee engagement, development, and retention initiatives.

  • Ensure compliance with employment legislation while driving innovation and continuous improvement.

About You

  • Graduate membership of the CIPD (or working towards).

  • Proven HR experience advising managers at all levels.

  • Strong knowledge of employment law across the HR spectrum.

  • Excellent communication and influencing skills.

  • Solutions-focused, proactive, and confident in challenging the status quo.

  • Ability to align organisational goals with the needs and aspirations of colleagues.

Why This Role is Attractive

  • Hybrid working opportunities.

  • Generous annual leave entitlement with increases for service.

  • Career-average pension scheme.

  • Flexible working and family-friendly policies.

  • Paid volunteering leave.

  • Lifestyle and wellbeing benefits, including gym discounts and funded health cash plan.

  • Free on-site parking.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a strategic, people-focused HR professional to make a real impact, shape the future of the workforce, and support organisational transformation.
