  • Salary: Up to £53,000 per annum

We are seeking a pragmatic and commercially minded People Business Partner to join our team in leading the strategic and tactical delivery of the People plan to the business across assigned regions (London / South East).

  • Delivering key people initiatives across the broad people spectrum including workforce planning, organisational design, talent acquisition, talent management, reward and engagement
  • Being data driven in both your questioning and decision making

This role is ideal for a candidate who:

  • Has experience leading large-scale people change initiatives.
  • Excels in stakeholder management and coaching.
  • Thinks critically and commercially about people decisions.
  • Has worked in large organizations, preferably with a branch or store network.
  • Can influence and challenge decisions effectively.
  • Leads and motivates teams through change.
  • Is comfortable with frequent regional travel and visiting multiple locations on a regular basis.

What We Provide to you:

  • Up to £53,000 per annum depending upon experience
  • Car Allowance
  • 25 days Holiday + Bank Holidays.
  • Pension Scheme
  • 3 months full sick pay
  • Life Assurance
