People & Culture Lead

Location: Based at the head office of Kinect Services Limited in Rayleigh

Reporting To: Managing Director

Direct Reports: Recruitment & Compliance Manager (plus wider oversight of the Recruitment & Compliance function)

Working Arrangement: Part-Time / Fractional
Approx. 2–3 days per week initially, with flexibility for the right candidate.

About Kinect Services Limited

Kinect Services Limited is a growing operational business specialising in:

Home-to-school transport
SEN transport
Domiciliary care
Related passenger transport services

As the business continues to scale, we are entering an important phase of organisational development focused on:

Improving operational consistency
Strengthening leadership capability
Developing clearer ownership and accountability
Enhancing communication across teams
Continuing to build a positive, collaborative culture

We are seeking an experienced People & Culture Lead to support and guide the next stage of this journey.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional HR administration role.

We are looking for a commercially aware and people-focused leader who can operate as a trusted partner to the senior leadership team, helping the business professionalise and strengthen its:

People management practices
Organisational structure
Leadership capability
Workplace culture
Communication and accountability
Onboarding and employee experience
Long-term organisational scalability

The successful candidate will support both operational and strategic priorities, helping the organisation navigate growth and change in a pragmatic, collaborative, and people-centred way.

This is a genuine opportunity to help shape the future direction of a growing business.

Key Responsibilities

People & Culture

Support the continued development of a positive, collaborative, and accountable workplace culture
Help embed consistent management practices and behaviours across the organisation
Support leadership with organisational development and change initiatives
Develop frameworks that improve communication, engagement, feedback, accountability, and management consistency

Leadership & Management Support

Coach and support operational managers with day-to-day people management
Provide guidance on:
- Performance management
- Employee wellbeing
- Difficult conversations
- Absence management
- Employee relations matters
- Team development
Help strengthen leadership capability and management confidence across the organisation

Organisational Development

Support the development of clearer organisational structures, ownership, and accountability
Assist with role clarity, onboarding frameworks, progression pathways, and management processes
Identify organisational risks, bottlenecks, and operational dependencies
Support wider business improvement initiatives and organisational scalability
Assist with organisational change and restructuring projects where required

Recruitment & Compliance Leadership

Provide leadership, support, and strategic direction to the Recruitment & Compliance function
Support the continued development of recruitment, onboarding, and compliance processes aligned to operational and cultural objectives
Improve consistency between recruitment, onboarding, management, and overall employee experience
Work alongside operational leaders to strengthen retention, onboarding quality, and employee support

Employee Relations & HR Oversight

Act as an escalation point for employee relations matters where required
Support investigations, disciplinaries, grievances, and formal HR processes
Ensure compliance with employment legislation and HR best practice
Review and develop HR policies, procedures, and documentation
Support organisational change processes sensitively and professionally

What We’re Looking For

We are less focused on finding someone “corporate” and more interested in someone pragmatic, emotionally intelligent, and experienced in supporting growing organisations through change.

The ideal candidate will:

Have strong HR and People leadership experience
Be commercially and operationally minded
Thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments
Balance structure with flexibility
Build trust and credibility quickly
Be confident coaching managers and constructively challenging where appropriate
Have experience supporting organisational growth and change
Be comfortable operating both strategically and hands-on when required

Experience & Background

Relevant experience may include:

Head of People
People & Culture Lead
HR Business Partner
Organisational Development roles
Fractional People Director positions
SME growth environments
Operational or service-led organisations

A CIPD qualification is welcomed but is not essential for the right candidate.

Why Join Kinect?

This is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping the next phase of a growing business where:

Culture genuinely matters
Leadership is open to challenge and improvement
Ideas and innovation are encouraged
The role can have real influence and impact

We are looking for someone who wants to help build, improve, and influence — not simply maintain processes.

Benefits:
