Sanderson King is supporting a high-growth, founder-led and investor-backed multi-site business with the appointment of a Head of HR / aspiring HR Director.
This is an opportunity for an ambitious, hands-on HR leader to take ownership of the People agenda and help build the HR function for a business entering a significant period of expansion. We are particularly interested in candidates who have worked within multi-site, clinics, healthcare, dental, veterinary, wellness, hospitality, retail or similarly operational environments and understand the challenges of scaling teams across physical locations.

- Take ownership of the day-to-day HR function and evolving People strategy
- Build scalable HR processes, policies, systems and ways of working
- Support significant headcount growth and new-site openings
- Lead workforce planning, recruitment and onboarding across multiple locations
- Manage ER, performance, reward, engagement and retention
- Develop managers and strengthen leadership capability
- Help shape organisational structures as the business grows
- Create consistency across a rapidly expanding multi-site estate
- Develop HR data, reporting and people metrics to support better decision-making
- Support culture and engagement through a significant period of change
- Work closely with the Founder and leadership team on key People and organisational priorities
- Build the HR function and team further as the organisation scales
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.
About you
You may already be operating as a Head of HR, or perhaps you're a strong Senior HR Business Partner / People Lead ready to step into your first overall HR leadership position.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Experienced within a multi-site or operationally complex business
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
- Commercial as well as technically strong across HR
- Able to move between strategic projects and hands-on delivery
- Confident partnering directly with Founders and senior leadership
- Experienced supporting growth, transformation or new-site expansion
- Pragmatic, resilient and comfortable building rather than inheriting
- Ambitious to develop into a broader HR Director-level role as the business grows
Experience within a founder-led, PE/VC/investor-backed or high-growth organisation would be particularly relevant. This isn't a role for someone looking to manage an established corporate HR function. It's an opportunity to build, influence and grow with the business.
