Job Title

People Partner

Location

Faversham, ME13 7TW GB (Main)

Job Description

At Gist, we're proud to be part of the M&S Group, the logistics engine behind M&S Food.

From our distribution centres to our transport operations and support functions, we connect people, technology and expertise to ensure the right products reach the right stores at the right time.

As we continue to invest in our people, technology and network, there's never been a more exciting time to join Gist and help shape the future of food logistics.

We’re looking for an experienced People Partner to join our team on a 12-month fixed term basis at our Faversham depot, reporting to the Senior People Partner for the South of the UK.

In this role, you’ll work closely with leaders to deliver our People priorities, providing practical, high‑quality support that strengthens leadership, performance and engagement across the site. We are building a culture that puts people at the heart of everything we do

Our Faversham site is critical within our network, directly servicing multiple stores and being a key connector of product across our network - many Percy Pigs and Colin the Caterpillars come through here every day! It's a complex site with dual manual and automated operations and regular engagement with leaders outside of Faversham - this is a location where you'll have the opportunity to shine!

What’s in it for you?

This is a Monday – Friday site-based role in Faversham, however we are a 24/7 operation and there may be the need for the occasional evening or weekend.

As well as a competitive salary, you'll benefit from:

20% M&S discount on most things from furniture, fashion and food
25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays (rising with length of service)
Private Health Insurance
Discounted rates on healthcare cash plan
Attractive annual bonus scheme, based on M&S performance and personal objectives
Auto Enrolment Pension or competitive Defined Contribution Pension Scheme and life assurance (up to 4 times salary)
Amazing perks and discounts via our App to major restaurants and retailers
Access to a wide range of wellbeing support – including our Employee Assistance Programme
Cycle to work scheme

What you’ll be doing

Partner closely with the General Manager to shape and deliver the People plan across the depot, using experience and data to guide decisions. As a member of the leadership team, you’ll take time to understand how the operation runs so you are credible and effective
Lead and coach your direct report, setting clear expectations and maintaining a high standard of delivery as our service offer evolves this year
Own delivery across the full People lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, talent / performance management, colleague engagement, safety, learning and development initiatives. Success is these being delivered well, and by the right person
Through strong experience of ER case management, ACAS, tribunals and employment law you’ll support and develop line managers daily to make sound People decisions, dealing with issues early through clear guidance, coaching and (proportionate) challenge
Strengthen leadership capability, performance management, succession and workforce planning so the operation has the right leaders in place for now and to achieve the M&S Food growth ambitions
Build and maintain effective working relationships with Trade Union representatives and play a key role in maintaining positive industrial relations, including annual pay discussions
Work closely with People colleagues and Centres of Excellence to share learnings and make sure colleagues have a consistent experience across Gist
Maintain accurate people data for the site and use insight to support decision‑making

What we’re looking for

You’ll bring significant experience as a People Partner / HR Business Partner working across the full generalist remit, ideally within a logistics, retail or manufacturing environment
You’re a visible, credible People Partner with the confidence to work closely with site leadership and influence decisions
You’re comfortable advising and managing complex ER issues and applying employment law with sound judgement and pragmatism
You have the ability to balance technical knowledge with practicality and hold the right person to account for delivering
You’re confident working with people data and translating insight into action
You’re an effective line manager who sets clear standards and supports others to deliver an evolving service offer
CIPD qualification is desirable but not essential
Some ad‑hoc travel to other site locations will be required

Why Gist?

When you join Gist, you're joining a business that plays a critical role within the M&S Group.

You'll have the opportunity to influence meaningful change, work alongside experienced leaders and contribute to one of the UK's leading food supply chains.

Our culture is built around our values of being Progressive, Accountable, Collaborative and Ethical, creating an environment where people are trusted, supported and encouraged to grow.

Whether you're leading a site operation, delivering transformation or shaping future strategy, your work will make a real difference.

Our commitment to inclusion

At Gist, we believe our differences make us stronger.

We're committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and able to succeed. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.

If you require any reasonable adjustments at any stage of our recruitment process, please let us know. We'll work with you to ensure you have the support you need.
