About Ward

Ward is one of the UK's leading independent recycling and waste management businesses, operating across multiple locations and business entities. With a turnover exceeding £300 million and a workforce of over 550 employees, we continue to grow and evolve as a business and wider Group.

What makes Ward different is that we remain a family-owned and family-run organisation. Despite our size, we have retained the entrepreneurial spirit, pace and pragmatism that have been part of the business for generations.

We are ambitious, commercially focused, and continuously evolving. Decisions are made quickly, relationships matter, and our people are expected to take ownership, solve problems, and make a positive contribution to the success of the business.

Like many successful family businesses, we are not a highly corporate organisation. We value practical solutions, common sense and people who can build credibility through their actions. We are continually improving our systems, processes and management capability, and this role will play an important part in that journey.

Our HR team reflects this approach. We are a commercially focused function that supports the business by developing managers, managing risk, improving employee experience, and helping the organisation achieve its goals. We believe in strong relationships, practical solutions and giving managers the confidence to manage their teams effectively.

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: From £35,000.00 per year

Company events
Cycle to work scheme
Free flu jabs
Free parking
