• Salary: Up to £50,000 per annum

We are seeking a pragmatic and commercially minded People Business Partner to join our team in leading the strategic and tactical delivery of the People plan to the business across assigned regions (East / South West).

• Partnering leaders in the design, scope and delivery of large and complex people change
• Delivering key people initiatives across the broad people spectrum including workforce planning, organisational design, talent acquisition, talent management, reward and engagement
• Being data driven in both your questioning and decision making

This role is ideal for a candidate who:

• Has experience leading large-scale people change initiatives.
• Excels in stakeholder management and coaching.
• Thinks critically and commercially about people decisions.
• Has worked in large organizations, preferably with a branch or store network.
• Can influence and challenge decisions effectively.
