Cheswick Green, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

Are you the kind of HR professional who refuses to settle for the 'HR as usual' approach? Do you thrive on pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo to drive real change? If you're ready to make an impact and empower managers to truly own their people responsibilities, keep reading.

At Convergence Group, we don’t see HR as just a support function. Here, the People team is a driving force behind our growth and success. We don't manage people for our managers; we hold them accountable to manage their teams effectively, while we equip them with the tools they need to excel.

Are you ready to disrupt the HR playbook?

If you've had enough of box-ticking exercises and HR red tape, this is your opportunity to lead real change. We're looking for a People Manager who cares deeply about creating an exceptional employee experience, isn't afraid to challenge managers, and can handle the tough conversations that drive a high-performance culture.

Interested and want to know more?

The role: What you’ll actually do

Partner with managers across the business—not to do the job for them, but to ensure they’re doing it right. This is not a hand-holding role; we expect you to push back and drive accountability.

Work alongside our recruiter to attract and retain the very best talent, ensuring a smooth journey from hiring to thriving.

Turn induction into an inspiring launch pad, not a box-ticking exercise.

Support managers with everything from development plans to disciplinary actions, always with an eye for what's best for the people, not just the process.

Ensure learning and development programs aren’t just 'nice to haves,' but critical tools for our growth.

Handle departures with dignity, ensuring the last impression is as positive as the first.

What you'll need to make it as our People Business Partner

5+ years’ proven experience within a transferable HR/People role where you've done more than just follow the script.

A CIPD qualification, level 5 or above is desirable.

A strong working knowledge of Employment Law and how to navigate complex issues.

The courage to challenge managers when needed and the skill to bring them onside.

A genuine understanding of what it takes to create a people-first culture.

An understanding of data protection and GDPR requirements when handling sensitive personal data.

What's in it for you:

A competitive salary of £48-55k because we value your impact.

33 days holiday (including bank holidays)

Benefits that go beyond the basics: Enhanced pension, Private Medical Insurance, Income Protection, Life Assurance.

Family-friendly perks and flexible hours for that perfect work-life balance

Bring your furry friend – our office is dog-friendly 🐶

The Nitty-Gritty:

Full-time, permanent role working 37.5 hours per week.

Based in Solihull, with a flexible hybrid working policy (at least 4 days a week in the office) 

No weekend work – we're all about a healthy work-life balance.

BPSS clearance is required for this role.

Apply if you’re ready to lead the change, not just talk about it.

If you're passionate about breaking away from 'traditional HR' and ready to hold people to the highest standards, then we want you. Apply now and be part of a company that doesn’t just say people come first – we live it.
