  • Supporting change management activities, communications and workforce impacts.
  • Reviewing and enhancing HR processes to ensure they are contemporary and fit for purpose.
  • Using people data and insights to inform decision-making.
  • Providing calm, steady and practical HR advice across the organisation.

About You

  • Proven experience in an HR Manager or Senior HRBP role.
  • Experience supporting significant organisational change, ideally within financial services, insurance, mutuals, or other member/customer-centric environments.
  • Strong working knowledge of HR practices, employment law and change principles.
  • Able to balance empathy with commercial decision-making.
  • Adaptable, hands-on, steady under pressure and able to build trust quickly.

The Benefits
