HR Manager in Ireton Wood, Derbyshire

HR Manager (Part-Time) | Up to £60,000 Pro Rata + Benefits

Derbyshire | 3 Days per Week | Flexible Working

Ambitious business. Genuine autonomy. The opportunity to shape a growing people function.

We're working with a highly successful, entrepreneurial business turning over approximately £50 million and established as one of the top three operators in its sector.

Following significant growth, the business is entering an exciting new chapter, with ambitious plans for expansion, diversification and acquisitions.

We're looking for a commercially minded HR Manager who enjoys being hands-on but also wants the opportunity to influence how a business develops its people.

Working closely with a young, dynamic leadership team, you'll take ownership of the HR function, strengthen existing processes and help create the people infrastructure to support continued growth.

The Opportunity

• Take ownership of the day-to-day HR function, working directly with senior leadership.
• Manage employee relations, HR policies, contracts and employment compliance.
• Lead recruitment coordination, onboarding, training and development.
• Develop employee engagement, benefits and internal communication initiatives.
• Oversee mandatory training, competency records and professional development.
• Support managers with workforce planning, performance and succession.
• Improve HR systems and processes to support future growth and acquisitions.

About You

You'll be an experienced, approachable and commercially aware HR professional who enjoys working closely with people at every level of a business.

Ideally, you'll bring broad generalist HR experience, strong knowledge of UK employment legislation and the confidence to advise senior stakeholders.

Experience within construction, contracting, engineering or another operationally driven environment would be advantageous.

You might currently be an HR Manager, HR Business Partner or experienced HR Adviser looking for greater ownership, autonomy and flexibility.

CIPD Level 5 or above would be advantageous, although equivalent practical experience will be considered.

Why Consider It?

This is a genuine opportunity to take ownership of the people function within an ambitious, growing business where your contribution will be visible and valued.

With flexible working, an attractive benefits package and the potential to develop into a full-time role as the business grows, it's an opportunity to make a real impact without committing to a five-day working week.
