Location: Battersea, Hybrid
Reporting to: Head of People
We are looking for a People Partner to play a central role in bringing our People Plan to life. You'll be a trusted, commercially-minded partner to leaders across the business — someone who can combine strategic thinking with a hands-on, pragmatic approach to get the best out of our people.
This is a genuine leadership role: you'll lead a team of four (Recruitment Advisor, People Advisor, Workplace Coordinator, and People Assistant) and regularly deputise for the Head of People, giving you real exposure to strategic decision-making.
A peek into your daily adventures:
- Partnering with People Leaders to turn business priorities into practical people strategies that drive performance, engagement, and retention
- Leading, coaching, and developing a high-performing People Team
- Owning talent and succession planning across the business, including early careers
- Acting as the escalation point for complex or sensitive employee relations cases, and coaching leaders to handle people matters confidently and fairly
- Overseeing HR systems, data, and reporting, and driving improvements that make life easier across the business
- Championing culture, engagement, and inclusion, and leading on organizational change and restructures where needed
Skills that make you shine:
- Experience in an HR Business Partner or senior generalist role, with a strong commercial mindset
- A track record of managing and developing a team
- Solid working knowledge of UK employment law, including handling complex or high-risk ER cases
- A confident, credible communicator who builds relationships and influences at all levels
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities pragmatically
- Experience in a retail, multi-site, or remote business
- CIPD Level 5/7 (preferable but not essential)
