About The Role

At SBFM, we believe there is a better way to deliver facilities management — more innovative, human, and purposeful. We are a fast-growing, technology-led business, and what we are most proud of is the culture we have built: frontline colleagues who are seen, recognised, heard, and part of something that genuinely cares about them.

As we grow — through new contract wins, an active M&A programme, and continuous expansion of our service model — we need a senior people leader who can protect that culture while also owning the HR rigour, TUPE complexity, and compliance infrastructure that a business of our size and ambition demands. This is a full time (40 hours per week) and primarily office-based in Leeds, with flexibility around working patterns and hybrid working available where appropriate.

The Role

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer and sitting on the Leadership Board, the People Director will own the full people function across a business with thousands of frontline FM professionals working across the UK and Ireland. You will lead an established team across HR, and Learning & Inclusion.

You will manage a NMW workforce at national scale, ensuring fully compliant HR processes across a diverse client base – this is a non-negotiable. We are proud of our close-knit culture and you will be responsible for colleague engagement, recognition, and internal communications to ensure we retain an engaged and motivated workforce.

Duties and Responsibilities

People strategy and reporting on workforce data, people metrics, and HR risk
Culture — driving colleague engagement, recognition, and internal communications across a large, dispersed workforce
Delivery of our social value agenda including the Evolve programme and prison education work
TUPE across contract mobilisations and acquisitions, end-to-end from due diligence through integration
Workforce compliance — right to work, DBS and enhanced vetting, ERA 1996, Equality Act, NMW — and the frameworks that make this audit-ready
Organisational design, L&D, and colleague experience as we grow
HR budget and external advisers

Qualifications and Skills

Multi-site, large frontline workforce experience — essential
Compliance expertise at scale — right to work, DBS, enhanced vetting, NMW, and employment law including ERA 1996, Equality Act, and TUPE
Hands-on TUPE expertise across both new contract mobilisations and acquisitions
Demonstrable track record of driving colleague engagement, recognition, and internal communications across a dispersed workforce — making culture tangible, not theoretical
Experience building scalable HR operating models and investor-ready compliance frameworks
Genuine passion for social mobility and the drive to push the agenda further
The hunger and resilience to thrive in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
CIPD Level 7 qualified or equivalent

In return you will receive

20% Bonus
Car allowance
Private Medical Insurance
25 days holiday plus bank holidays
Contributory pension scheme
Newly refurbished office with free onsite parking
Clear career progression pathway
Access to ongoing learning and development
Regular company events
