HR Business Partner (HRBP)

6 Month Fixed-Term Contract

Salary: Up to £70,000 per annum (pro rata)

Morva Recruitment is working with a well established manufacturing business to recruit an experienced HR Business Partner on a 6-month fixed-term contract to be based on site.

This is an opportunity for a confident, hands on HR professional to step into a key role within the HR function, providing day-to-day support, guidance and direction to an established HR team during a period of cover.

We're looking for someone who enjoys the variety of a generalist HR role, is confident managing people and workloads, and can build strong relationships across the business, including with senior leadership.

The Role

This is a broad HRBP position where you'll balance operational HR delivery, people management and stakeholder engagement.

You'll take ownership of the day-to-day HR activity, ensuring the team is supported, priorities are clear and employee matters are managed effectively.

Key responsibilities will include:

*

Managing and supporting the HR team, providing clear direction, guidance and day-to-day leadership.

*

Allocating workloads and ensuring priorities are managed effectively across the team.

*

Supporting the development and upskilling of team members, sharing knowledge and encouraging best practice.

*

Managing complex employee relations cases, escalations and providing practical HR advice.

*

Acting as a key point of contact for senior stakeholders and confidently engaging with the Senior Leadership Team.

*

Providing generalist HR support across the business, ensuring a consistent and pragmatic approach.

*

Taking ownership of issues and ensuring matters are followed through to resolution.

*

Supporting the smooth running of the HR function and maintaining a visible, approachable presence.

About You

We're keen to speak with HR professionals who can hit the ground running and bring confidence, experience and a practical approach.

You'll ideally have:

*

Proven experience in a HR Business Partner or senior generalist HR role.

*

Experience managing or leading an HR team.

*

Strong generalist HR knowledge and confidence handling complex employee relations matters.

*

The ability to manage escalations and make sound, commercially aware decisions.

*

Experience allocating workloads, supporting colleagues and developing team capability.

*

Confidence communicating and influencing at Senior Leadership Team level.

*

A hands-on approach, with the ability to balance operational demands and stakeholder expectations.

You don't need to be someone focused on long-term leadership development strategies. We're looking for a strong operational HR professional who can provide direction, support the team and keep things moving.

What's on Offer?

*

6-month fixed-term contract.

*

Salary up to £70,000 per annum (pro rata).

*

The opportunity to join an established manufacturing business.

*

A varied, hands-on HRBP position with real responsibility.

*

The opportunity to make a positive impact within an existing HR team.
