Human Resources Business Partner

HR Business Partner | Tower Hill | Hybrid | up to 58K | Professional Services

Are you an HR Business Partner who still genuinely enjoys doing HR, rather than simply advising from the sidelines?

We're recruiting for a broad, hands-on HRBP role supporting a London-based employee population of around 150 people. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the business, building strong relationships with senior leaders and managers, and taking ownership of the full employee lifecycle.

This isn't a heavily strategic HRBP role, the real focus will be taking the people strategy and making it happen across the business.

What you'll be doing:

• Acting as the main day-to-day HR contact for your business area.
• Partnering with senior leaders, Business Heads and managers.
• Managing ER cases and providing practical UK employment law advice.
• Coaching managers with varying levels of experience and capability.
• Supporting recruitment from vacancy through to onboarding.
• Driving performance, talent, succession and development activity.
• Identifying trends across absence, attendance, turnover, ER and performance.
• Supporting engagement and wider people initiatives.
• Reviewing and improving HR processes.
• Using HR data to identify potential people issues before they escalate.
• Getting involved in the practical detail – whether that's drafting formal letters, arranging interviews, updating systems or completing HR administration.

Who we're looking for:

You'll already be operating at HRBP level, or in a broad generalist position where you've had genuine ownership of a business area.

You need to be comfortable switching between a senior stakeholder conversation and the operational detail that comes afterwards. There isn't a team underneath you to pass the administration to, so we're looking for someone who is happy to roll their sleeves up and get things done.

You could be particularly well suited if you've worked in a standalone HR role or within an SME environment where you've been used to covering the full breadth of HR.

You'll bring:

• Strong generalist HR and ER experience.
• Good UK employment law knowledge.
• Experience partnering confidently with senior stakeholders.
• A proactive approach – spotting issues rather than waiting for them to land.
• Exposure to talent, L&D, engagement and succession.
• CIPD Level 5 or working towards it.
• A collaborative, flexible and solutions-focused approach.
• The ability to work comfortably in a busy environment where priorities can change quickly.

Most importantly, ego needs to be left at the door. The HR team works incredibly closely together, everyone gets involved, and there is very little "that's not my job" thinking.

Working pattern: Hybrid – 3 days office / 2 days home
