HR Manager

A well-established and highly regarded group operating within the healthcare sector is looking to appoint an HR Manager to join its team near Birmingham. This is a genuine generalist role with real breadth — you'll be the go-to HR expert across the business, shaping people strategy one moment and getting stuck into hands-on casework the next.

If you're an experienced HR professional looking for a role where you'll be visible, trusted and genuinely able to make a difference — healthcare experience not required — this one is worth a closer look.

What you'll be doing:

• Acting as the trusted HR partner for managers and colleagues across the business, providing timely and commercially-minded advice
• Owning the full spectrum of employee relations — disciplinaries, grievances, absence, performance and complex casework
• Driving recruitment and onboarding, working closely with hiring managers to attract and retain the right talent
• Shaping, reviewing and rolling out HR policies, procedures and frameworks in line with best practice
• Championing learning and development initiatives across the group
• Tracking key people metrics and using data to spot trends and inform decision-making
• Ensuring the business stays fully compliant with UK employment law and internal policy
• Leading on HR projects, change initiatives and organisational development work
• Promoting employee engagement, wellbeing and an inclusive culture

What we're looking for:

• Proven track record in a generalist HR management role
• CIPD Level 5 or Level 7 qualified (or working towards)
• Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice
• Confident writing, reviewing and implementing HR policies
• Experience coaching and upskilling managers on people matters
• Solid exposure to employee relations casework from start to finish
• Excellent communication and influencing skills — able to hold your own with senior stakeholders
• Highly organised, able to juggle competing priorities and manage your own workload
• A hands-on, pragmatic and solution-focused approach
• Healthcare experience is not required — strong generalist HR managers from any sector are welcomed

Why this role?

• Salary of up to £50,000 depending on experience
• Join a well-established and respected group within the healthcare sector
• A broad, varied remit with real ownership of the HR function
• Meaningful, purpose-led work within a sector that genuinely matters
• Supportive leadership and a collaborative team environment
