At Holland & Barrett, we're not just a retailer - we're a purpose-led, people-powered organisation transforming the health and wellness of our customers and communities. As we continue to grow and evolve, we're looking for a forward-thinking Strategic HR Business Partner to shape the future of our people agenda, contributing to talent initiatives across the business while also driving focused HR activation within our Finance and Legal functions.

This is more than a business partner role, it's a real opportunity to influence enterprise-wide change, champion performance culture, and help senior leaders unlock the full potential of their teams in a fast-moving, values-driven environment.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Partner closely with Finance and Legal leaders to align people strategies with business priorities, guiding workforce planning, capability building, and cultural transformation.
• Coach senior stakeholders to drive engagement, performance, and succession through meaningful conversations and targeted development plans.
• Activate internal career pathways and succession plans to nurture and retain key talent across critical talent pools.
• Collaborate with Resourcing, L&D, and DE&I teams to embed talent and performance programmes that make a measurable difference.
• Support the rollout of people technology, develop talent KPIs, and use insights to inform decision-making and action planning.

Location & Ways of Working:

This is a hybrid role based in Nuneaton, with a minimum of 2 days a week in our head office and flexibility to work remotely the rest of the time.

Why Join H&B?
