SF Recruitment are exclusively partnering with a well-established and growing organisation within a fast-paced, exciting sector to recruit an experienced standalone HR Manager.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded HR professional who enjoys being visible, hands-on and close to the business. It's a broad generalist role combining operational HR with the opportunity to influence the wider people agenda and work closely with senior leadership.
Supporting a headcount of c.250 employees across various sites, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day HR function while acting as a trusted partner to managers and senior stakeholders across the group.

Key responsibilities will include:
- Providing a proactive, hands-on generalist HR service across the business
- Managing and advising on a range of complex Employee Relations matters
- Coaching and developing managers to build confidence and capability around people matters
- Partnering with senior stakeholders to understand and deliver key people priorities
- Supporting organisational change and business-critical projects
- Reviewing and improving HR policies, processes and ways of working
- Supporting recruitment, retention, talent and workforce planning
- Using people data and trends to identify priorities and support business decisions
- Driving employee engagement and contributing to the wider culture and people agenda
- Balancing immediate operational requirements with longer-term strategic HR priorities

About You
- I'm looking for an experienced HR professional who is comfortable working autonomously, can build credibility quickly and is confident taking ownership of the HR function with a high level of independence.
- Ideally, you'll have previous standalone and multi-site HR experience, with the confidence to support different areas of a business while building strong relationships with managers and senior stakeholders.
- You'll need strong generalist and ER experience, excellent stakeholder-management skills and, importantly, the ability to switch comfortably between hands-on operational HR and more strategic conversations with senior leadership.

Due to the timescales around the appointment, I'm particularly keen to speak with candidates who are immediately available or on a short notice period.
