Manchester, United Kingdom We Are Adam Full time

We are seeking a Head of People to champion the People function within a high-growth healthcare organisation. With an ambitious growth trajectory underway, this newly created role offers the opportunity to embed a first-class HR service that enables the business and its people to thrive.


The Role:

Reporting directly to the C-suite, you will be an integral member of Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and lead a team comprising both generalist and specialist professionals.


Your role will involve building the foundational elements of a high-performing People function while focusing on strategic priorities such as attraction, culture, development, and engagement. Operating in a service-led, customer-focused environment, the business is eager to shift from a reactive to proactive stance—positioning itself as an employer of choice and earning recognition for its exceptional work.


What You’ll Do:

  • Deliver an effective, high-impact HR toolkit that fosters a high-performance culture.
  • Bring creativity and innovation to establish new ways of working across the employee lifecycle, including payroll and pensions.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders as a trusted leader and influencer.
  • Create and embed a highly engaged culture while driving change in alignment with the business's growth goals.


Your Background:

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • Proven strategic and operational HR team leadership experience within a primary healthcare setting.
  • Commercial acumen and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
  • A track record of partnering with senior stakeholders and delivering impactful change at pace.
  • The vision and capability to take the People function from its current state to one of best practice.


What’s required:

  • A dynamic hybrid working model, with a North West office base two days per week and UK travel as needed.
  • Autonomy to manage your diary and make a tangible impact on the organisation’s growth journey.


This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of the People function in a rapidly evolving growth business. If you’re ready to combine your expertise with innovative ideas and a passion for driving performance, we’d love to hear from you


Please send your CV via the link to be considered.


Equity, diversity, and inclusion are integral to everything that we do. We are committed to these values and they are central to our mission. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities, and we are more than happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that you may require.
