About the role

We're looking for a forward-thinking, impact-driven People Business Partner to join our team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. You'll support our Zellis business unit (BU) and report directly to the Chief People Officer for Zellis BU. This role is perfect for a People Partner who's trusted, innovative, and ready to make a real difference in a dynamic, fast-growing environment.

Work from wherever works for you - though being near Bristol, Birmingham, Peterborough, or Watford is a bonus. We're flexible too: we welcome applications from anyone keen on hybrid or flexible working (at least 4 days a week).

What you'll do
  • Help bring our Group People Strategy to life within your teams-sharing insights on what works, what doesn't, and how we can make a bigger impact together.
  • Coach and partner with leaders to raise the bar, offer honest feedback, and nurture relationships that drive long-term success.
  • Contribute to the Managed Services and Customer Solutions strategy, supporting the leadership team to achieve their goals
  • Lead or contribute to exciting people projects and transformation efforts in both Zellis BU and the wider People team.
  • Work with business leaders to create meaningful engagement plans and keep everyone clear on what's happening-and why.
  • Champion our performance management approach, encouraging regular, open check-in conversations so everyone gets feedback and clarity on their progress.
  • Offer guidance and support on employment relations, always keeping risks in check and solutions people-first.
  • Use data to spotlight focus areas and show progress on the goals that matter most.
  • Really get to know our business priorities-commercial, financial, customer-and use that insight to shape people initiatives that move the needle.
  • Help bring new companies into Zellis BU smoothly when needed.
  • Be our "customer zero" and give honest feedback on new tech and products before launch.
  • Share what's important across your teams, helping other People colleagues stay in the loop.

  • Proven impact as part of a leadership team-quickly building trust and strong relationships at the top.
  • Solid commercial awareness to add value in strategic conversations.
