The Opportunity:

We are seeking an experienced People Operations & Process Partner to join a growing People function supporting a high-profile UK programme. This is an excellent opportunity for an HR professional who enjoys combining operational HR delivery with business partnering and process improvement.

This is not a traditional HR environment. Many People processes are still evolving, so you'll play a key role in both delivering day-to-day HR support and designing, improving and embedding scalable HR processes. You'll thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy solving problems, and be comfortable working through ambiguity to deliver practical, business-focused solutions.

As a People Operations & Process Partner your main responsibilities will be to:

• Partner with managers to provide trusted HR advice across the full employee lifecycle.
• Provide practical guidance on employee relations, performance management, absence, engagement and people-related matters.
• Deliver end-to-end HR operations including onboarding, contractual changes, promotions, transfers and offboarding.
• Design, implement and continuously improve HR processes to create efficient and scalable ways of working.
• Document HR processes, policies and procedures, ensuring consistency and compliance.
• Drive process improvements and embed new ways of working across the organisation.
• Manage HR systems, ensuring data integrity, confidentiality and accurate employee records.
• Produce HR reporting and management information to support business decision-making.
• Analyse people data to identify trends, risks and opportunities for improvement.
• Lead or support People projects including onboarding improvements, organisational change, employee engagement and policy development.
• Provide first-line employee relations support and coach managers on HR policies and best practice.
• Support talent management, workforce planning and organisational development initiatives.
• Manage HR documentation including contracts, letters, reports and policy updates.
• Ensure compliance with UK employment legislation, GDPR and organisational governance.
• Support People team planning, administration, purchase orders and budget tracking where required.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of HR service delivery and employee experience.

Essential:

• Experience working in a similar role.
• Strong experience supporting managers across a broad range of HR and employee relations matters.
• Proven experience designing, implementing and embedding HR processes and operational improvements.
• Excellent understanding of the full employee lifecycle and HR best practice.
• Experience working within fast-paced, evolving or changing organisations.
• Strong employee relations knowledge and experience providing pragmatic HR advice.
• Experience using HR systems (HRIS), reporting tools and workflow management systems.
• Ability to analyse HR data and produce meaningful management information and insights.
• Excellent stakeholder management, influencing and communication skills.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• High attention to detail with a focus on accuracy, compliance and governance.
• Comfortable working autonomously and finding solutions in ambiguous environments.
• Good understanding of UK employment legislation and HR compliance requirements.

Desirable:

• CIPD Level 3 or Level 5 (or equivalent HR experience).
• Experience delivering HR transformation or continuous improvement initiatives.
• Experience implementing or enhancing HR systems.
• Previous experience within the public sector, government or another regulated environment.
• Experience supporting organisational growth or building scalable HR operations.
• Experience producing HR dashboards, analytics and management reporting.
• Exposure to organisational design, workforce planning or talent management.
• Experience working within programme or project delivery environments.
