Position: HR Business Partner
Location: Lothian, Fife, & Tayside (Field-based)
Salary: up to £52,000 plus car allowance and excellent benefits
Looking for an HR role where you'll genuinely influence business decisions rather than simply support them?
I'm partnering with a well-established, forward-thinking healthcare organisation that's investing heavily in the future of its people and services. They're looking for an experienced HR Business Partner to work directly alongside the Managing Director, helping shape workforce strategy across a multi-site operation.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded HR professional who enjoys balancing strategic projects with hands-on operational support. You'll play a key role in transforming how teams are structured, developed and supported across the business, making a real impact on both colleagues and customers.
The Role
As HR Business Partner, you'll be a trusted advisor to senior leadership, providing strategic and operational HR support across a diverse network of locations.
