Interim HR Business Partner | £600/650 per day | 3-6 months (possibly more)

Greater Manchester / Regional North-West, UK

I’m supporting a confidential search for an experienced HR Business Partner to join a growing and evolving organisation operating within a highly regulated, operationally intensive environment.

This is a key addition to an established HR team and will become the third HRBP within the function. The role will focus on supporting significant change programmes across a large, geographically dispersed field-based workforce.

This is not a role for someone who wants to sit on the sidelines. We’re looking for a commercially focused HRBP who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, partnering closely with operational leaders, and driving change from strategy through to implementation.

Key areas of focus:

  • Supporting large-scale organisational and field force change programmes
  • Partnering with senior operational stakeholders to deliver people solutions aligned to business objectives
  • Leading workforce planning, organisational design and restructuring activity
  • Driving employee engagement, performance improvement and cultural alignment
  • Managing complex employee relations matters within a transformation environment
  • Using people insights and analytics to influence decision-making
  • Coaching and challenging leaders to deliver successful business outcomes

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Proven HR Business Partner experience within operational, field-based or heavily regulated environments
  • Strong change management and transformation experience
  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills
  • A pragmatic, hands-on approach with the ability to move seamlessly between strategic and operational activity
  • Broad HR expertise across organisational design, workforce planning, employee relations, talent and performance
  • Day Rate: Circa £600-650 per day (inside IR35)
  • Location: Hybrid – Northwest, UK
