About the job

HR Business Partner | City of London | Hybrid | up to 58K | Professional Services

Are you an HR Business Partner who still genuinely enjoys doing HR, rather than simply advising from the sidelines?

We're recruiting for a broad, hands-on HRBP role supporting a London-based employee population of around 150 people. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the business, building strong relationships with senior leaders and managers, and taking ownership of the full employee lifecycle.

This isn't a heavily strategic HRBP role, the real focus will be taking the people strategy and making it happen across the business.

What you'll be doing:

• Acting as the main day-to-day HR contact for your business area.
• Partnering with senior leaders, Business Heads and managers.
• Managing ER cases and providing practical UK employment law advice.
• Coaching managers with varying levels of experience and capability.
• Supporting recruitment from vacancy through to onboarding.
• Driving performance, talent, succession and development activity.
• Identifying trends across absence, attendance, turnover, ER and performance.
• Supporting engagement and wider people initiatives.
• Reviewing and improving HR processes.
• Using HR data to identify potential people issues before they escalate.
• Getting involved in the practical detail – whether that's drafting formal letters, arranging interviews, updating systems or completing HR administration.

Who we're looking for:

You'll already be operating at HRBP level, or in a broad generalist position where you've had genuine ownership of a business area.

• You need to be comfortable switching between a senior stakeholder conversation and the operational detail that comes afterwards. There isn't a team underneath you to pass the administration to, so we're looking for someone who is happy to roll their sleeves up and get things done.
