HR Business Partner

We're exclusively partnering with a rapidly scaling, global business at the forefront of sustainability, as they continue to expand across multiple continents. As part of this growth, they are looking to appoint a hands-on HR Business Partner to play a key role in supporting and shaping the organisation through an exciting and evolving phase.

This is not a polished, corporate environment - it's fast-paced, ambitious and, at times, a little chaotic. But for the right person, it offers real influence, global exposure, and the opportunity to make a tangible impact.

Reporting into the Executive Team, you will act as a trusted partner to leadership, supporting them through growth, change and day-to-day people challenges. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable operating at a strategic level and rolling up their sleeves operationally. You'll be working closely with a leadership team that needs guidance, coaching and support - someone who can bring structure, challenge thinking, and help embed strong people practices.

Based out of Widnes, your key responsibilities will include:

• Operational HR Partnering: Act as the go-to advisor for managers, providing coaching, guidance and hands-on support across the full employee lifecycle
• Employee Relations: Lead on complex cases including performance improvement plans, absence management, long-term sickness and grievance matters
• Leadership Coaching: Support and develop an evolving leadership team, helping to build capability, confidence and consistency
• Performance & Engagement: Drive fair and effective performance management practices and support a culture of accountability
• Workforce Planning & Change: Support organisational design, restructuring and ongoing growth initiatives
• Global Collaboration: Partner with international teams, navigating cultural and legislative differences (with support where needed)
• HR Development: Help build and refine pragmatic, scalable HR processes in a growing business

About You:

• Proven experience in a hands-on HR Business Partner role
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving (sometimes ambiguous) environment
• Confident managing ER cases independently and coaching managers through challenges
• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to influence and build credibility quickly
• Resilient, pragmatic and solutions-focused - you're not fazed by a bit of chaos
• Experience within SME, scale-up or high-growth environments is highly beneficial
• Exposure to international / global HR is desirable
• CIPD qualified (or equivalent) is beneficial, but experience is key

My client offers a competitive salary and discretionary bonus, hybrid working , 25 days holiday (increasing with service) plus bank holidays, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, opportunities for international travel, a genuine chance to shape and influence a growing global business and a collaborative, ambitious culture that values action, transparency and support.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being in the thick of it. Influencing, solving problems and helping a business grow the right way. If you're looking for a position where you can make a real difference and be part of something evolving at pace, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply without delay.
