HR Business Partner

HR Business Partner - Part time

Our client is a respected and well-established business operating within the food sector. They are a fast‑paced, commercially driven organisation with strong operational roots and ambitious growth plans. The leadership team values HR as a key strategic partner in shaping the future of the business, not just as a support function.

This is a truly business‑facing part‑time HR opportunity. As HR Business Partner, you'll work closely with operational and senior leaders to drive people strategy and align HR priorities with wider commercial goals.

The business needs someone with presence and confidence, a partner who can challenge, influence and lead with credibility at every level.

• Support the senior team in workforce planning, succession, and organisational design.
