Taunton, Somerset, United Kingdom Artis Recruitment Full time

About the Opportunity

Artis are supporting an organisation to identify an inspiring and forward thinking Head of People to lead a business wide people transformation programme within a complex, fast moving organisation. This is a hybrid role.

You'll play a pivotal role in shaping culture, building leadership capability, and creating an environment where every colleague feels valued, supported, and empowered to deliver excellence.

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior HR professional who thrives on modernising how people functions operate, moving from transactional delivery to strategic partnership and measurable impact.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Shape and lead the people strategy across your business area, aligning initiatives with long-term goals and ensuring HR delivers real business value.
  • Develop a high-performing team that combines business partnering, centres of excellence, and operational delivery to support leaders effectively.
  • Champion culture and engagement, designing programmes that connect employees with purpose and values, and strengthen inclusion and belonging.
  • Lead organisational change, ensuring that transformation programmes, whether structural, cultural, or technological, land successfully and sustainably.
  • Embed data-led decision making, using people analytics to identify trends, opportunities, and areas for improvement.
  • Build capability, through leadership development, coaching, and performance frameworks that drive accountability and excellence.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders to support workforce planning, talent acquisition, and succession initiatives that secure the right skills for the future.
  • Promote health, safety and wellbeing, ensuring the colleague experience remains at the heart of everything you do.

About You:

  • You'll be an accomplished HR leader who combines strategic insight with hands-on delivery. You understand how to influence senior stakeholders and bring people on a journey of improvement and change.
  • We're particularly keen to hear from individuals who can demonstrate:
  • Broad HR generalist experience gained in large, multi-site environments.
  • A track record of driving people and culture transformation within complex organisations.
  • Strong stakeholder management and the confidence to challenge constructively.
  • Proven experience of developing high performing HR teams and implementing business partner models.
  • The ability to use data and insights to inform people strategy and measure success.
  • Genuine passion for building inclusive, high engagement workplaces where colleagues can thrive.

What's In It For You:

  • This is a chance to shape the future of a major UK organisation's people agenda, one that's investing heavily in its people, systems, and leadership capability to support long term growth and impact.
  • You'll join a supportive, purpose led environment where your expertise will directly influence cultural and business outcomes, and where you'll be trusted to lead meaningful, lasting change.
