About this job

Forget red tape, forget sitting in on endless grievances and forget not feeling listened to. Here you’ll bring in your own systems and processes, so you’ll be comfortably working how you want from day one. There might be the odd grievance you’ll advise on but this is a strategic job, where you’ll own the HR agenda and grow your own small team. There’ll be plenty of variety, and you’d be involved in lots of projects, an early one might be managing the creation of content for a bespoke L&D platform for example. From day one you’ll be listened to, and your good ideas will be implemented. Those ideas will also be attributed to you, and you’ll get the recognition and praise. Which is made better by the fact that you’ll get a significant annual bonus, even more significant the more you contribute. Short term the job would be for you to head up the general people function, things like recruitment and onboarding, but it won’t take away from the main Culture element of the job, there’s already a small team in place for you to delegate to. There’d be a serious reward on offer if you ‘stuck it out’ here. They’re aiming to almost double in size within a few years. Which means your responsibilities will grow, as will your team to cope with it. Your salary, titles and benefits will always reflect what you’re doing and what level you’re at. You would be working with an Architectural Practice of 300 people. Architects are a really creative and interesting type of professional. You’ll enjoy how collaborative they are and there’s a real mix of personality types. They also create brilliant workplace environments that you’ll enjoy being around.
