• Compensation & Benefits – overseeing payroll, benefits and fair pay structures.

• HR Strategy and Planning – monitoring HR metrics and aligning people initiatives with business goals.

We’re looking for an HR professional who is approachable, proactive and commercially minded. Ideally, you’ll bring:

• 3–5 years’ experience in HR management, preferably within an SME.

• CIPD Level 5 in People Management as a minimum, but CIPD Level 7 would be preferred.

• Strong knowledge of UK employment law.

• Excellent communication, relationship-building and conflict resolution skills.

• A proven ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

• Confidence using HR software and Microsoft Office Suite.

• A competitive salary of £55,000 – £65,000 FTE, dependent on experience.

• A part-time permanent role (approx. 3/4 days) with the option to transition to full-time in the future.

• The chance to shape and influence the HR function in a growing, values-driven business.

• A supportive leadership team that values HR as a strategic partner.
