HR Business Partner

HR Business Partner

Peterborough, Office Based

Salary circa 55k pa

Are you the kind of HR professional who loves rolling up your sleeves but also wants a seat at the table?

If so, this could be your perfect next move.

Why this role?

Our client are at an exciting point in their journey and are looking for a HR Business Partner who’s ready to take full ownership of the people function.

This is a standalone role — which means you’ll have the chance to do it all.

One day you might be designing a new performance framework with the leadership team, the next you’ll be interviewing sector professionals or sorting contracts.

If you like variety, impact, and the chance to shape things your way, you’ll feel right at home.

What you’ll be doing

Partnering with the leadership team on people strategy and culture.

Leading recruitment and onboarding — making sure you bring in and keep the best people.

Acting as a trusted advisor on employee relations, performance, and engagement.

Creating simple, effective frameworks for development and progression.

Keeping the day-to-day ticking over — payroll, contracts, policies, compliance.

Using data and insights (not just gut feel) to shape decisions.

What we’re looking for

You’ve worked as an HR Business Partner or senior HR generalist, ideally in a standalone role.

You’re just as happy doing the do as you are talking strategy.

You know your way around UK employment law and HR best practice.

You’ve got a commercial head and a people-first approach.

You can influence at senior level, but you’re also happy getting the basics right.

CIPD qualification would be great.

What’s in it for you

Impact: This is your chance to build, influence, and leave your mark.

Variety: Strategic one minute, hands-on the next — no two days are the same.

Flexibility: We get that life happens, so we offer hybrid working.

Growth: We’ll support your professional development and career ambitions.

Collaboration: You’ll work closely with a leadership team who value HR as a real partner.

Sound like your kind of challenge?

If you’re ready to shape the people function from the ground up and want a role where your work really matters, we’d love to hear from you.
