TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS

• This is a field-based role with travel across Birmingham and Scotland, and occasional travel to NI head office (expenses covered).

THE ROLE:

This is not your typical HRBP role. We need someone who thrives in a dynamic, multi-site environment and understands the unique challenges of a scaling business. You’ll play a key role in embedding our culture, aligning people practices, and supporting satellite teams across Birmingham and Scotland as they grow.
You’ll be part of a collaborative People & Talent team that’s as focused on people as it is on performance – and you’ll help shape the future of our organisation as we expand further across the UK, ROI and Europe.
You will serve as the strategic and operational People lead for new and emerging locations, working closely with regional leadership, site teams, and the central People & Talent Team. Your key focus will be to support and embed our core values, drive cultural consistency, and ensure our People practices and ways of working are aligned across the business.
You will act as a trusted advisor to managers and site leads, ensuring that people, performance, engagement, and growth remain a top priority as we scale.
