HR Business Partner
London & South East
£65,000 + Car Allowance
Remote / Hybrid Working
Regional Travel Required
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced HR Business Partner to join a large, established, and rapidly evolving organisation, with this role covering multiple locations throughout London and the South East region.
This is a highly visible, operational HR role supporting approximately 1,000 colleagues across a diverse portfolio of contracts and locations. You will work closely with Regional Directors, senior operational leaders, and contract managers, providing commercially focused HR support across employee relations, TUPE, organisational change, workforce planning, talent, and manager capability.
This is not a purely corporate or desk-based HRBP position. The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in a fast-paced, field-based environment, building relationships with managers across multiple sites and being visible across the region.
The Opportunity
The role represents an excellent opportunity for an experienced HR professional to take ownership of a significant regional remit while working as part of a supportive and collaborative wider HR function.
The organisation is continuing to evolve through new contract wins, mobilisation activity, organisational change, and business growth. As a result, the HRBP will play a key role in helping operational leaders navigate change while ensuring effective people practices are embedded across the region.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with Regional Directors, senior leaders, and operational managers across the London & South East region.
- Provide proactive, commercially focused HR advice across a broad range of people matters.
- Lead and support complex employee relations cases, including performance, absence, disciplinary, grievance, and capability matters.
- Coach and develop managers to improve their confidence and capability in handling people issues.
- Lead and support TUPE activity, including mobilisations, transfers, due diligence, consultation, and post-transfer employee relations.
- Support organisational change, restructuring, redundancy, and workforce planning activity.
- Provide HR input into tenders, contract mobilisation, and re-tendering activity.
- Use people data and metrics to identify trends, challenges, and opportunities across the region.
- Support recruitment, retention, engagement, talent development, and succession planning.
- Work closely with the regional HR Advisor, providing coaching, guidance, and support to strengthen the overall HR service.
- Contribute to wider HR projects and the organisation's people plan.
- Build strong relationships with managers and colleagues across a predominantly operational and field-based workforce.
