Interim HR Business Partner | Financial Services | Derby - Hybrid | 6 months FTC | £45K to £52K

Gleeson Recruitment Group is delighted to be partnering with a growing and ambitious Financial Services organisation in Derby to recruit an experienced HR Business Partner on a 6-month fixed-term contract.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially focused HR professional who enjoys operating at both a strategic and operational level. Working closely with senior leaders across the business, you will play a key role in supporting organisational growth, driving people initiatives, and delivering high-quality HR partnering support.

The Role

As HR Business Partner, you will work alongside the senior leadership team to shape and deliver the people agenda, ensuring HR initiatives align with wider business objectives. You will be a trusted advisor to stakeholders, providing expert guidance on organisational development, employee relations, and change initiatives.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Partnering with senior leaders to support strategic business objectives and workforce planning.
  • Leading and contributing to organisational development initiatives to enhance capability, engagement, and performance.
  • Providing expert advice and guidance on complex and high-risk employee relations matters.
  • Managing senior-level ER cases, including disciplinaries, grievances, performance management, and absence management.
  • Supporting organisational change projects and driving continuous improvement across HR processes.
  • Using people data and insights to influence decision-making and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Coaching and developing managers to strengthen leadership capability and people management practices.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
