This is a fantastic opportunity to join at a pivotal time, with growth, change and investment happening across the wider business. The role will play a central part in shaping culture, capability and engagement on site.
A key requirement for this role is strong union experience - you'll have confidence working in a unionised environment, building constructive relationships and navigating negotiation and consultation with credibility and balance. Please do not apply if you don't have union experience.
The Opportunity
Partnering closely with site leadership, you will:
* Lead the HR agenda day-to-day, ensuring a proactive, people-first approach
* Build strong relationships with colleagues and leaders across the operation
* Shape and drive engagement, capability and wellbeing across a diverse workforce
* Lead on complex employee relations and provide expert guidance to managers
* Support change programmes, cultural development and workforce planning
* Champion leadership development, learning and talent progression
* Coach and develop a small HR team
About You
* Proven HR management / senior HRBP experience in a fast-paced, operational environment
* Strong union and ER background, with experience managing complex cases and negotiations
* Confident influencing senior leaders and acting as a trusted partner
* Comfortable leading through change, ambiguity and pace
* Empathetic, resilient and people-led, with a hands-on approach when needed
* CIPD qualified (or equivalent) preferred
This is an opportunity to make a visible impact, shaping culture, supporting growth, and building capability in a business that values its people.
If you bring strong HR leadership experience, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and have proven union experience, I'd love to hear from you.
