Sysco (whose UK operating companies include Brakes, Fresh Direct, KFF and Medina) is recruiting a people-focused and engaging HR Partner to join our HR team. Reporting to the HR Business Partner, you will work closely with site leadership teams to deliver a proactive HR service that supports business performance, colleague engagement and organisational growth. As a trusted advisor, you will provide coaching, guidance and challenge to managers across all aspects of people management, helping to create a positive and high-performing culture.
We offer flexible and hybrid working arrangements, which can be discussed further during the interview process. Due to the collaborative nature of the role and the need to build strong relationships with stakeholders, regular presence at our Grantham, Lincolnshire office is required, therefore candidates should be within a commutable distance.
This is a varied business partnering role where you will support the delivery of people initiatives across the employee lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, talent development, engagement, performance management and organisational change. Working closely with HR Centres of Excellence, you will help embed people plans that build capability, strengthen talent pipelines and improve the overall colleague experience. You will also use people data and insights to identify trends, inform decision-making and support improvements in areas such as retention, attendance and engagement.
We're looking for a strong HR generalist with excellent partnering and stakeholder management skills, who is confident building relationships and influencing managers in a fast-paced operational environment. You'll have a good knowledge of employment law and employee relations, with experience managing complex people matters and providing pragmatic, commercially focused advice. Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to balance business needs with positive people outcomes.
Ideally, you will hold a CIPD Level 5 qualification or be working towards it; however, significant relevant HR experience will also be considered. This is a fantastic opportunity for an HR professional looking to further develop their business partnering skills and make a real impact across engagement, retention, performance, development and organisational change.
