People Partner

Join us as a proactive People Partner: influence senior leaders, lead HR initiatives, and shape a positive culture in a fast-paced, frontline operation. We're looking for a positive, high-energy and solutions-focused People Partner with strong, all-round HR operating experience who is now ready to step into a partnering and departmental leadership role. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with broad HR and/or OD expertise who thrives in fast-moving, operational environments – perhaps with seasonal peaks, a large casual workforce or complex frontline teams – and who now wants to move into a role with strategic influence. You'll work closely with our senior managers and play a key leadership role within the People department, deputising for the Group Head of People when required, owning the delivery of people projects that genuinely make a difference. The opportunity: You'll be joining a small but high-impact People team as the People partner to senior and departmental managers across a busy, operationally diverse organisation. You'll be working with senior managers to develop their teams and offer people insights to develop the experience for all our colleagues – and rolling up your sleeves to make it happen. About you: This role is ideal if you're at the point in your career where you're ready to step up into partnering and leadership. Why join us?: You'll join a passionate People team that has transformed how we recruit, onboard and support our workforce, and plays a central role in shaping culture, leadership behaviours and the employee experience.
