People & Culture Manager

When a business is growing quickly, strong HR foundations can make the difference between simply keeping pace and building something that performs for the long term.

A 30-hour part-time arrangement is also available. Hybrid working is offered, with a Wetherby base and travel to the East Midlands office as required.

Bonus scheme alongside your base salary

25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays

Pension scheme and hybrid working arrangements

Genuine influence as part of the management team, working directly with senior leadership

Coach managers throughout the employee lifecycle, strengthening their ability to handle day-to-day employment matters effectively

Provide hands-on employee relations advice and manage more complex workplace issues

Demonstrable employee relations knowledge, including the ability to advise managers on complex employment matters

Experience introducing or improving performance management, appraisal and KPI frameworks
