Are you an experienced HR professional who is looking for a part-time role who enjoys building strong people practices, supporting managers and making a visible impact within a growing business?
We are delighted to be supporting a successful, family-owned business in the recruitment of a Part Time HR Manager.

The Opportunity
Working closely with the owner and senior leadership team, you will provide practical, hands-on HR support across the business. This will initially focus on employee relations, policies, documentation, compliance and day-to-day HR administration before developing into a broader people agenda as the company grows.
This is a standalone role suited to an experienced HR Manager or strong HR Business Partner/generalist who is comfortable working independently within an SME environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide practical HR advice and guidance to managers and employees
• Manage employee relations matters, including disciplinary, grievance, absence and performance cases
• Coach managers and build their confidence in handling people-related matters
• Review and develop HR policies, procedures, contracts and employment documentation
• Ensure compliance with UK employment legislation and HR best practice
• Manage day-to-day HR administration and maintain accurate employee records
• Support pay, benefits and employee reward matters
• Support recruitment, onboarding and workforce planning as the business grows
• Develop the company’s people infrastructure, processes and overall HR offering

About You
You will be a knowledgeable and approachable HR professional who enjoys working closely with managers and delivering practical solutions.
You will bring:

• Experience as an HR Manager, HR Business Partner or senior HR generalist
• Strong employee relations experience
• Sound knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice
• Experience working independently, ideally within an SME environment
• The confidence to influence and support stakeholders at all levels
• A proactive, hands-on and commercially aware approach
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• The ability to handle confidential matters with discretion
• CIPD qualification or equivalent experience would be advantageous

Why Join?
This is a rare opportunity to establish an in-house HR function within a profitable and ambitious family-owned business. You will have the autonomy to shape its people practices, support managers and create the foundations needed for continued growth.
If you are an experienced HR professional looking for a flexible, hands-on role where you can make a genuine difference, we would love to hear from you.
