LHH are partnering with a well-established organisation in Lewes to recruit a Junior HR Business Partner. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced HR Advisor looking to step into a broader, more strategic business partnering role within a values-led environment.
Reporting to the HR Business Partner and with line management responsibility for an HR Administrator and HR Coordinator, you will deliver a professional advisory HR service to managers across multiple sites. The role blends hands-on operational HR with the opportunity to influence leadership capability, organisational change, and workforce planning.
Key responsibilities include:
- Coaching and advising managers on employee relations, performance and attendance management, and the consistent application of HR policies and procedures
- Supporting workforce planning, recruitment and selection processes, and organisational change activity
- Partnering with leaders to interpret HR data, staff survey results, and workforce metrics to inform business planning and decision-making
- Supporting disciplinary, grievance, and investigation processes in line with employment law and best practice
- Liaising with Occupational Health providers on long-term sickness and absence cases
- Delivering training to managers on people management practices
- Promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion across all areas of work
- Supporting consultation and engagement with staff representative bodies and trade unions
- Contributing to HR projects and continuous improvement initiatives
This is a hybrid role based in Lewes, with regular travel to sites across East Sussex. Flexibility is required, as occasional attendance outside of normal working hours may be necessary.
We are seeking a pragmatic and commercially aware HR professional with strong employee relations experience, excellent stakeholder management skills, and the confidence to coach and influence managers at all levels.
