The Opportunity

You will work closely with the Managing Director, Operations Director and the Senior Leadership Team across the homes, while helping to shape the fast-paced, positive, high-performing culture.
The business is looking for someone who is confident, credible and hands-on. Someone who can build trust quickly, offer sound advice, and balance operational realities with best practice.

- Analyse people trends and provide practical, informed recommendations to the Directors
- Help maintain high standards of compliance, professionalism and consistency across the homes
- Contribute to the wider HR strategy while remaining hands-on in the day-to-day operation
Role Requirements
- Previous experience in a HR or similar senior HR Leadership role
- Strong understanding of UK employment law and HR best practice
- Confident managing employee relations casework with a calm, balanced and commercially minded approach
