West London | £40,000–£45,000 | Full-time
This is not a maintenance HR role. It is a chance to build the people function behind an Outstanding-rated West London care provider with serious ambition for its next stage of growth.
Azon Core is recruiting a Head of People for a highly regarded domiciliary care organisation with a strong local reputation, an established workforce, and a leadership team that genuinely wants to improve how people are recruited, developed, supported, and retained. The organisation is entering a period of growth and transformation, with people, workforce capability, and culture sitting right at the centre of that journey.
The opportunity
You will take ownership of the wider people agenda across:
- People and workforce strategy
- Recruitment and talent attraction
- Workforce planning
- Onboarding and new-starter experience
- Employee engagement and retention
- Performance and development
- Learning and career pathways
- Employer brand
- People systems and KPIs
- Employee relations and policy
- Leadership capability
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a hands-on role. We are not looking for someone who wants to sit behind policies and processes. We want someone who can understand the operation, work closely with senior leaders, challenge what is not working, and build practical systems that improve both employee experience and business performance.
A key part of the role
The organisation wants to strengthen the full Care Professional journey from attraction through to long-term retention. That means asking better questions around:
- How we attract the right people
- How we prepare them properly
- How we support them through their first weeks
- How we improve engagement
- How we retain stronger people for longer
- How workforce planning supports sustainable growth
You will have the opportunity to shape this properly rather than simply inherit a fixed model.
Who we’re looking for
You may currently be a:
- Head of People
- People Manager
- HR Manager
- People & Culture Manager
- Workforce Manager
- Recruitment & Retention Manager
- Senior Talent Acquisition Manager
Previous care-sector experience is useful, but not essential. We are particularly interested in candidates who understand frontline, dispersed, or high-volume workforces, whether from care, healthcare, staffing, hospitality, retail, logistics, or field services.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.

- Use data to make decisions
- Care about employee experience
- Can create accountability without creating bureaucracy
- Are commercially minded
- Want genuine ownership
Why join?
You’ll be joining a highly regarded, CQC Outstanding-rated provider with a strong West London presence, an experienced leadership team, and real appetite for change. The foundations are already there. The opportunity is to help build the next version.
