Peterborough, United Kingdom Vero HR Ltd Full time

VERO HR (www.verohr.co.uk) is a rapidly growing HR outsourcing business based in Peterborough, providing a UK-wide and international client base with a full range of people services. Technology is central to how we engage with our clients, but our service delivery is all about combining the benefits of tech with what we do best – the personal touch.

Having earned a strong reputation for customer service excellence (we not only won The Peterborough Telegraph Customer Service Excellence award 2023 but were also a finalist at The Personnel Today national awards 2023 and again this year across the Talent Management, Early Careers and HR Consultancy of the year categories )we are always on the lookout for new team members who share our passion for outstanding service.

About the Opportunity

Due to ongoing growth, we are now seeking an additional HR Director to join our team.

Based at our beautiful offices on the outskirts of Peterborough, in a dynamic environment, you will deliver strategic HR leadership and manage a small team of HR professionals, all while providing expert HR guidance to a diverse client portfolio across multiple sectors. This role emphasizes building strong relationships with clients, addressing complex employee relations (ER) cases, and offering strategic oversight on HR issues. Our approach is also to leverage your areas of HR expertise to support the team, sharing your ‘subject matter knowledge’ across the business.

Key Responsibilities


As a HR Director, you will:

  • Provide strategic advice and guidance on complex employment issues, HR policies, and HR best practices.
  • Support managers on intricate ER cases, including disciplinary matters, absence management, performance, grievances, and appeals, attending meetings virtually or on-site as needed.
  • Deliver HR expertise on matters involving redundancy, restructures, and TUPE transactions.
  • Research, develop, and implement HR solutions to meet specific client needs.
  • Lead and coach a small team of HR professionals, fostering their development.

Who We Are Looking For


Whether you’re ready for a step up or already have senior-level HR experience, we’d love to hear from you. With a friendly, approachable style, you’ll bring:

  • Strong UK employment law knowledge and practical application.
  • A generalist HR background with a solid track record.
  • Expertise in one or more areas such as learning and development, organisational development, reward practices, international HR, HR technology solutions, global talent mobility, resourcing, employee wellbeing or EDI
  • A “can do,” client-focused approach and the ability to interact with stakeholders at all levels, quickly building credibility.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • A competitive salary and benefits package, including life assurance, 25 days of annual leave, and your birthday off
  • Participation in our share option scheme once eligible.
  • A modern office on the outskirts of Peterborough with on-site parking and electric car charging.
  • Excellent career development opportunities within an expanding business where you can make a tangible impact.
  • A tailored development plan with regular coaching sessions to support your growth and career goals.

If you have a passion for delivering high-quality service, along with strong organisational skills and leadership capability, we want to hear from you
