New Yesterday

Hybrid – Office based in Essex, Braintree (2 days a week in the office, this may occasionally be more as and when required)

Full-time, Permanent

Salary: £56,500 + excellent benefits

Goodman Masson are delighted to be partnering with a forward-thinking, purpose-led housing association that's deeply committed to its communities and people. This organisation is undergoing an exciting period of transformation, and they're now seeking a passionate and commercially minded HR Business Partner to help shape the future of their people strategy.

This isn't a traditional HR role. It's a genuine opportunity to embed yourself into the heart of the organisation, build trusted relationships with senior leaders, and drive meaningful change across the business. If you're someone who enjoys rolling up your sleeves, working in true partnership with managers, and constructively challenging the status quo – this could be your next big move!

The Role

As HR Business Partner, you'll be joining a team of 2 other HR BPs, reporting into the Senior HR BP within a People Team that is almost 20 strong. You'll play a vital role in delivering both strategic and operational HR support across multiple business areas. You'll:

Partner with leaders and managers to deliver the organisation's People Strategy and EDI goals
Build people capability through coaching, training, and influencing – not box-ticking
Use data and insight to drive workforce planning, talent development, and performance
Lead and advise on complex ER issues, organisational change, and TUPE processes
Champion a proactive and inclusive people culture aligned to the organisation's values
Support key transformation projects that align with the organisation's long-term goals

This is a highly visible role where your credibility, pragmatism, and business acumen will be key to building strong relationships and helping managers succeed.

Required Experience

Proven experience in a true HR Business Partnering role – both strategic and hands-on
A track record of constructively influencing senior leaders across diverse departments
The confidence and gravitas to handle challenges and guide others through change
Experience of handling complex employee relations matters, including tribunal preparation
Knowledge of TUPE, employment law, job evaluation and reward
A coaching mindset and a collaborative approach
Chartered MCIPD or equivalent experience

You'll thrive in this role if you're achievement-driven, calm under pressure, and motivated by delivering real value – both to the business and to the people it serves.

Why Join?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic, values-led organisation where HR is seen as a genuine strategic partner. You'll be part of a supportive, passionate team working on exciting projects that make a real difference – not just internally, but to communities across the region.

This Organisation Offers

Hybrid working with flexibility
Strong benefits package and pension
Real investment in your personal development
An inclusive and collaborative working culture
The opportunity to shape how HR partners with the business moving forward

I will be sending applications on by COB Thursday 31st of July, so please ensure that you have contacted me before then if you wish to be put forward.

If you are interested in the role and have all of the essential experience clearly detailed in bullet point form in your CV under the previous organisations you completed them at, then please send your CV to my email address: .
