HR Business Partner Cheshire - hybrid/regional Salary up to £60,000 plus excellent benefits Let’s talk about a different kind of HR Business Partner You're not just there to keep things ticking over. You’re the person leaders turn to when they’re making decisions — restructures, workforce planning, driving engagement, handling ER risks, or rethinking how their teams are shaped for the future. Sound like you? In this role, you’ll be the HR partner to a core business function. It’s a chance to truly embed yourself in the operation, influencing decisions that drive performance — not just reacting to them. What will you be doing day to day? You’ll work closely with leadership to align the people plan to the business plan. You’ll guide managers through the full employee lifecycle — hiring, performance, talent, exits — making sure they’ve got the support and direction they need. You’ll challenge, coach and enable — because we’re big believers that capability starts with confident leaders. You’ll deliver organisational design, looking at how teams are structured and how roles are levelled to maximise impact. You’ll get into the detail with safety, compliance, ER cases, and risk — but always with a forward-thinking, commercially balanced view. You won’t be doing it alone. You’ll partner with Centres of Expertise, ER leads, and other HR colleagues to make sure the People team is connected, aligned, and delivering real value. You’ll also be visible across the function, building trust and creating space for open, honest conversations. This role will suit you if… You’ve got strong generalist HR experience, ideally from a complex or fast-paced environment. You’re comfortable challenging senior stakeholders — and equally good at listening. You bring a mix of added value commercial thinking and sleeves-rolled-up practicality. You’ve handled with change, TUPE, restructures, unions… and you know how to make it all land well. You care about the numbers — cost, headcount, risk — but never forget the people behind them. You’ll be measured on outcomes: engagement scores, feedback from your function, productivity and performance uplift, successful delivery of change, and above all — whether you’re a trusted, proactive, and visible partner. This role is offered on a hybrid basis 3 days (maybe 4 on a busy week) either office based or regionally at NW locations and 2 at home. The head office is NW based. APPLY NOW!
