I'm supporting a well–established, people–focused organisation as they look to appoint an experienced HR Manager to lead the people agenda across a key site in the South West.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join at a pivotal time, with growth, change and investment happening across the wider business. The role will play a central part in shaping culture, capability and engagement on site.

Partnering closely with site leadership, you will:

Lead the HR agenda day–to–day, ensuring a proactive, people–first approach

Build strong relationships with colleagues and leaders across the operation

Shape and drive engagement, capability and wellbeing across a diverse workforce

Lead on complex employee relations and provide expert guidance to managers

Support change programmes, cultural development and workforce planning

Champion leadership development, learning and talent progression

Coach and develop a small HR team

About You

Proven HR management / senior HRBP experience in a fast–paced, operational environment

Strong union and ER background, with experience managing complex cases and negotiations

Confident influencing senior leaders and acting as a trusted partner

Comfortable leading through change, ambiguity and pace

Empathetic, resilient and people–led, with a hands–on approach when needed

CIPD qualified (or equivalent) preferred

This is an opportunity to make a visible impact, shaping culture, supporting growth, and building capability in a business that values its people.

If you bring strong HR leadership experience, thrive in a fast–paced environment, and have proven union experience, I'd love to hear from you.
