Full job description

At Stonebridge, we support a national community of over 1,400 mortgage advisers — and our people are central to making that possible. Their ideas, expertise and drive shape how we operate, how we grow, and how we deliver outstanding outcomes for our network members.

If you’re an experienced HR professional who thrives in a collaborative, fast‑moving environment — someone who enjoys solving people challenges, strengthening leadership capability and embedding great people practices — this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a growing, regulated business.

This role is hybrid, based in our Basildon office (3 days on site).

About the Role

As our HR Business Partner, you’ll play a key role in supporting leaders across the business and ensuring we maintain high standards of conduct, compliance and employee experience. Your primary focus will be employee relations — managing cases end‑to‑end, coaching managers, and ensuring all activity aligns with employment law, FCA expectations and internal policy.

Alongside ER, you’ll contribute to wider people initiatives, including onboarding, performance management, policy development and organisational change. You’ll work closely with the Head of People and collaborate with colleagues across HR, Payroll, Recruitment and Communications to deliver a consistent, high‑quality service.

If you enjoy combining hands‑on casework with strategic people support — and you want to help shape a positive, proactive and compliant people culture — you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Be Doing

Employee relations (primary focus)

Managing ER casework end‑to‑end, including disciplinaries, grievances, performance, absence and capability
Coaching managers through sensitive conversations and formal processes
Ensuring all ER activity is fair, consistent and aligned with employment law and FCA conduct rules
Tracking ER trends and identifying opportunities to strengthen people practices

Induction and onboarding

Overseeing the design and delivery of engaging, compliant onboarding experiences
Partnering with hiring managers and Recruitment to ensure a smooth start for new colleagues
Continuously improving onboarding content, processes and touchpoints

Performance and development

Supporting the company’s performance framework and ensuring clear goal‑setting
Coaching managers on performance conversations and managing underperformance
Working with the Head of People to evolve performance metrics that drive engagement and results

Generalist HR support & people projects

Acting as a trusted advisor across recruitment, engagement, reward and development
Maintaining and enhancing People policies, procedures and documentation
Supporting organisational change, people initiatives and regulatory requirements
Ensuring HR processes meet FCA expectations and audit standards

Operational HR governance

Ensuring HR processes are documented, consistent and compliant
Supporting coordination between HR, Payroll, Compliance and Operations
Maintaining accurate employee records and documentation

Your Objectives

Your success will be measured by:

Delivering high‑quality, compliant employee relations support
Strengthening leadership capability across the business
Embedding consistent, effective people practices
Reducing people‑related risk and improving employee experience
Supporting the People Team in delivering strategic HR initiatives

Flexibility is essential — the regulatory landscape evolves, and so do our business needs.

What You’ll Bring

Personal Qualities

A proactive, solutions‑focused approach
Strong communication and relationship‑building skills
Confidence coaching managers at all levels
Sound judgement and the ability to navigate sensitive issues
A calm, structured approach to complex casework
Commercial awareness and accountability for outcomes
Able to fully satisfy the pre-employment screening process, which comprises code of conduct, right to work, identity, 5 years referencing, AML, credit screen, financial sanctions and DBS checks

Essential Experience

HR Business Partner or HR Generalist experience with strong ER expertise
Strong knowledge of UK employment law and best‑practice HR processes
Experience working in an FCA‑regulated or similarly regulated environment
Proven experience managing the full employee lifecycle
Experience supporting performance management frameworks
CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent experience)

Desirable Experience

Experience supporting organisational change, restructuring or TUPE
Confidence using HR systems and interpreting people analytics

Why Join Stonebridge?

We believe great work deserves great rewards. You’ll enjoy:

A collaborative, open, people‑first culture
Competitive salary (the salary band for this position is £40,000 - £50,000)
Annual performance‑related bonus (non-contractual)
22 days holiday + your birthday off + extra days for length of service
Hybrid working (Basildon + home)
Free breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks in the office
Company pension with optional matched contributions
2 volunteering days + 1 team volunteering day
2 half‑days of paid “me time” for wellbeing
Employee recognition schemes and retail discounts
Salary sacrifice options (home tech, cycle to work, pension)
Gym subsidy, company sick pay and EAP support
Option to buy up to 5 extra holiday days
£500 employee referral scheme
Death in service and critical illness cover

Ready to Make an Impact

If you’re motivated by improving people outcomes, strengthening leadership capability and supporting a high‑performing, regulated business, we’d love to hear from you.
