Job Type: Full-time or part-time (minimum 30 hours per week)

Salary: Circa £55,000 per annum FTE, depending on experience.

Location: South West England. This is a hybrid role where you’ll be mainly based from home but there’ll be regular travel across the South West for client and internal meetings.

What you’ll be doing You’ll be the key link in connecting our HR expertise with our diverse range of clients.

Your mission? To be the HR superpower for your clients, providing practical advice, helping solve HR challenges, and supporting client growth by putting people at the centre of everything we do.

You'll work really closely with clients and colleagues to effectively manage a wide variety of HR matters, including employee relations, resourcing, organisation development, training, compensation and benefits, performance management, people management, and business transformation. It's a hands-on role where you'll tackle real issues and drive positive change.

Your responsibilities will be many and varied, but never boring. Here’s a brief summary of your day to day role:

Seamlessly navigate a variety of HR projects, enquiries, and issues across the employee lifecycle to meet the unique needs of your client portfolio.
Own your clients' HR concerns and initiatives, teaming up with your colleagues and our partners to get the best results.
Grow and develop fantastic relationships with clients using our account management processes.
Identify ways to grow accounts by understanding what clients need and using our team's skills and resources to make it happen.
Help us grow by sharing your brilliant knowledge and skills within the team, encouraging everyone to continually learn.
Respond to client queries quickly, and escalate them when needed, so we’re always on top of issues.
Get to know the ins and outs of your clients’ industries so you can build stronger relationships and help accounts grow.
Be a great advocate for us by spreading the word about what we do.
Keep things running smoothly by working within our established processes and systems.

About youYou're CIPD qualified to level 7 (or nearly there), with recent experience in roles like HR Business Partner, People Partner, HR/People Consultant. You're the kind of person who has a keen eye for detail and takes pride in delivering high-quality work. Supporting and advising managers on tough HR issues is something you're confident in, and you have a proven track record of doing it well.

Building strong, lasting relationships comes naturally to you, and you’re great at keeping things organised and managing your time effectively. You’re also comfortable working with best practice HR policies and procedures, making sure you provide the right advice when it matters most. Your communication skills—both written and spoken—are clear and confident, making you a trusted voice with both clients and colleagues.

You approach HR with a commercial mindset, always considering the bigger picture and how your work supports business goals. A full UK driving licence is essential for this role, and you're happy to travel when needed.

It would be a bonus, but not essential, if you have experience working in an HR consultancy. It would also be great if you have either international HR knowledge and/or HR experience in the TV, film and production sector (but if you don’t have this, please don’t let it put you off applying).
