HR Business Partner

Smarter Cover

Leatherhead, Surrey KT22 7BA — office-based, minimum 4 days per week
Full-time, Permanent
£50,000 – £60,000

Urgent hire — ideally able to start within 3 weeks

Join Our Expanding Team

We’re a well-established Life Insurance provider that has doubled in size to over 150 people in the past 12 months — and we’re still growing fast. Our aim is to have 200+ Sales Consultants by the end of 2027.

Smarter Cover is in the privileged position of owning the entire customer lifecycle — from generating high-quality leads, to offering our own Life Insurance products, through to delivering an exceptional post-sale customer experience. In the past 24 months, we’ve successfully launched four new products to market, with more exciting releases in the pipeline.

We are seeking an experienced and proactive HR Business Partner to help shape the future of our People Department, and our business as a whole. This is a genuine step-up opportunity for an HR professional who wants to build something meaningful in a fast-moving, high-growth organisation — we're looking to move quickly, so this is not a role for a tentative or speculative applicant.

Role Overview

As HR Business Partner at Smarter Cover, you'll work directly with the Commercial Operations Director, and closely with the Head Of Recruitment and Head of Learning & Development, to build out the HR function and define and support a positive workplace culture.

You'll provide HR support across the business, ensuring people issues are managed fairly, consistently and in line with company policy and employment law — helping managers handle performance, capability, wellbeing and absence in a structured way so the business stays stable and compliant as we scale. You'll also own the HR infrastructure — records, documentation, processes and policies — that underpins a well-run, audit-ready people function.

Smarter Cover operates in a regulated environment, and this role supports the business's obligations under the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR).

Key Responsibilities

Employee Relations

Oversee employee relations, ensuring disciplinaries, grievances and conduct issues are handled fairly, consistently and in line with company policy and employment law
Advise and coach managers on handling people issues fairly, consistently, and with clear documentation
Design and manage performance improvement plans (PIPs) and capability documentation
Ensure all ER cases are logged, tracked and closed within appropriate timeframes
Conduct exit interviews and identify patterns or themes to share with leadership

Absence & Wellbeing

Own the return-to-work process and ensure it is followed consistently across the business
Monitor and manage absence data, identifying patterns and escalating where needed
Support managers and employees through wellbeing-related concerns, signposting appropriate support

Manager Capability Support

Coach managers on how to have performance, conduct and wellbeing conversations
Ensure managers follow the correct HR process rather than avoiding issues
Identify patterns of manager behaviour that create repeated HR issues and escalate where required

Onboarding, Probation & People Administration

Manage contracts, offer letters, onboarding paperwork and changes to terms
Conduct new starter check-ins and manage the probation monitoring process, tracking and chasing reviews to completion
Ensure new starters have the correct documentation in place before or on day one

HR Records, Compliance & Policy

Maintain accurate, complete and audit-ready HR records — including files, contracts, right-to-work documentation and correspondence
Ensure job descriptions are in place, up to date and consistently structured for every role in the business
Design, review and update HR policies to keep them legally compliant and fit for purpose
Conduct regular HR compliance audits across files, contracts, right-to-work documentation and HR processes

Data, Reporting & Insight

Produce timely monthly absence and wellbeing reports with clear commentary and recommendations
Track and report employee stats (headcount, turnover, absence, ER case volume) on a monthly basis
Analyse engagement and leaver data, providing recommendations with visible tracking of agreed actions

Business Partnering

Collaborate with Finance to manage payroll processes, ensuring accuracy and compliance
Administer employee benefits, including pensions, healthcare and incentive schemes, and benchmark salaries for competitive compensation
Work closely with leadership to align HR strategy with business goals, supporting organisational change, restructuring and DEI initiatives

Requirements

This is a high-bar hire, not an easy one — we're looking for genuine, demonstrable experience against every essential requirement below, not transferable potential alone.

Essential

Sales-environment experience: proven experience of a sales operation similar to ours — fast-paced, high-volume and targets-driven
Proven experience as an HR Business Partner, HR Advisor or equivalent generalist HR role
Experience managing a full range of ER cases: disciplinary, grievance, capability and absence
Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice
CIPD Level 5 (Associate) or equivalent demonstrable experience
Excellent communication, interpersonal and leadership skills, with the confidence to advise managers without ambiguity
High attention to detail — our documentation, records and compliance processes must be accurate
Ability to manage multiple ER cases and competing priorities without dropping anything
Comfortable having difficult conversations — with empathy, consistency and without avoidance
Analytical — able to interpret people data and turn it into clear recommendations
Location: able to work from our Leatherhead office at least 4 days per week
Availability: able to start ASAP

Desirable

Experience in the insurance, financial services or another regulated/compliance-driven environment
CIPD Level 7 (Advanced), or working towards it
Experience or training in SM&CR obligations as they apply to HR functions
Experience with HR software and HR data analysis

Benefits

Perkbox — exclusive discounts on top brands, experiences and everyday essentials
SquareHealth — always-there healthcare support for you and your family
Death in Service — financial security for your loved ones, with 4x basic salary cover
Internal Incentives & Awards — recognition for your hard work and achievements
Work-Life Balance — no weekend working or shift patterns, so you can plan your life
Celebrate Together — summer & Christmas parties, plus festive period closure
Hybrid Working — the minimum 4 office days per week required for this role
Progression Pathways — clear opportunities to grow in Sales or Management
Cycle to Work — save money, stay healthy and reduce your carbon footprint

Smarter Cover is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage applications from all qualified individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or veteran status.

Pay: £45,000.00-£60,000.00 per year
