HR Business Partner - Making a Difference in Care

​Are you a strategic and empathetic HR professional ready to partner with a passionate team dedicated to making a real difference in people's lives? Do you thrive on driving positive change and providing expert HR guidance within a dynamic environment?

​We are seeking a proactive and commercially-aware HR Business Partner (HRBP) to join our organisation, a leading provider in the care industry. Reporting directly to the Head of HR, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our people strategy and ensuring our most valuable asset—our people—are supported to deliver outstanding care.

​The Opportunity

​As our HRBP, you will be the key link between the business and HR, working closely with operational managers across our care services. This isn't just a transactional role; it's a chance to be a strategic thought partner, helping us navigate the unique challenges and rewards of the care sector.

​Key Responsibilities

  • ​Strategic Partnership: Act as a trusted advisor to senior management and departmental heads, translating business strategy into tangible HR initiatives that support high-quality care delivery and sustainable growth.
  • ​Employee Relations & Compliance: Expertly manage complex employee relations cases, providing coaching and support to managers to ensure fair, consistent, and legally compliant practices.
  • ​Performance & Talent Management: Drive and embed effective performance management, talent review, and succession planning processes to develop our future leaders and ensure high standards of care.
  • ​Change Management: Lead and support organisational change, restructuring, and transformation projects with sensitivity and clear communication.
  • ​HR Projects & Initiatives: Design and implement HR projects that enhance employee engagement, well-being, and retention—critical factors in the care sector.
  • ​Policy Development: Contribute to the development and implementation of robust HR policies that reflect best practice and the specific needs of a care environment.

​What You'll Bring

  • ​Experience: Proven experience as an HR Business Partner or similar strategic HR role, ideally within the care, healthcare, or a related complex, multi-site service industry.
  • ​Knowledge: Strong understanding of UK employment law and best practice HR principles.
  • ​Skills: Exceptional coaching, influencing, and communication skills, with the ability to build credibility quickly with stakeholders at all levels.
  • ​Attitude: A high degree of empathy, resilience, and a genuine passion for supporting staff in a demanding but highly rewarding sector.
  • ​Qualifications: CIPD qualification (Level 5 or 7) is highly desirable.

​Why Join Us?

​We offer more than just a job; we offer a chance to be part of a mission. You'll be joining a supportive Head of HR and a team committed to excellence. We provide competitive pay, a comprehensive benefits package, and opportunities for professional development. Most importantly, your work will directly contribute to creating a supportive and thriving environment for the staff who deliver compassionate care every single day.

​If you are ready to apply your HR expertise to a sector that truly matters, we want to hear from you.
