Job Description
We're partnering with a well-established UK charity that is transforming lives through its work with children and families. With a workforce of around 100 employees, this is an organisation driven by purpose, collaboration and a genuine commitment to making a difference.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Head of People to shape and lead the people agenda during the next stage of the organisation's journey.
This is a broad and influential role, offering the opportunity to work closely with the Executive Leadership Team to build an engaging culture, strengthen leadership capability and evolve the HR function into a true strategic business partner.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Finance Director, you'll lead a small HR team while partnering with senior leaders across the organisation. You'll balance strategic people initiatives with operational excellence, ensuring the organisation continues to attract, develop and retain talented people while fostering an inclusive, high-performing culture.
This is the ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys operating strategically but is equally happy rolling up their sleeves in a smaller organisation where every contribution makes a difference.
Key Responsibilities
Partner with the Executive Leadership Team to shape and deliver the people strategy.
Lead organisational development initiatives, including culture, leadership development and employee engagement.
Design and implement learning and development programmes and career pathways.
Support organisational change and transformation, ensuring people are engaged throughout.
Coach and develop managers, building confidence and capability across the organisation.
Lead and develop the HR team, creating a proactive, business-partnering approach.
Oversee all aspects of HR operations, employee relations, recruitment and workforce planning.
Ensure employment law compliance while maintaining a pragmatic, commercially focused approach.
Champion values, wellbeing, inclusion and flexible ways of working.
About You
We're looking for an experienced HR leader who combines strategic thinking with a hands-on approach.
You'll bring:
Significant senior HR leadership experience.
A strong background in organisational development, culture and change.
Experience partnering with Executive Leadership Teams and senior stakeholders.
A track record of developing HR functions into trusted strategic partners.
Strong knowledge of UK employment law and best practice.
Excellent coaching, influencing and stakeholder management skills.
A collaborative, pragmatic and solutions-focused approach.
The ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
What's on Offer?
Hybrid working (approximately 8 office days per month)
28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
7% employer pension contribution
Life assurance (3x salary)
Employee Assistance Programme
Season ticket loan
Flexible working options
The opportunity to shape the people agenda within a values-led organisation making a genuine difference across the UK
If you're an experienced HR leader looking for a role where you can influence strategy, drive meaningful change and make a tangible impact, we'd love to hear from you.
