HR Business Partner
A well-established organisation is looking to appoint an experienced HR Business Partner to support a major organisational change programme in Birmingham on a 9-12-month fixed-term basis.
This role will be central to delivering a TUPE transfer as part of a wider business separation and the creation of a new standalone operation. It’s a hands-on role where you will be closely involved in both the planning and real-time delivery of the transfer.
The position would suit someone who enjoys working in a fast-moving environment, is comfortable dealing with complexity, and brings strong TUPE and employee relations experience.
What the role will involve
- Supporting the full TUPE process from planning through to completion, ensuring everything is handled correctly and in line with UK legislation
- Working closely with legal teams and internal stakeholders to manage risk and ensure compliance
- Getting involved in the detail – including data gathering, reviewing employee information, and preparing for transfer
- Supporting and delivering employee consultation processes, both collective and individual
- Helping shape and deliver clear, consistent communications to employees during the transition
- Being visible on-site, working directly with managers and employees to support them through change
Alongside the TUPE work, the role will also involve:
- Advising managers on employee relations matters, particularly those arising from organisational change
- Handling complex ER cases in a fair, pragmatic, and commercially sound way
- Creating and maintaining practical documentation such as communications, scripts, and guidance materials
- Working closely with HR colleagues and wider project teams to keep everything aligned and on track
What we are looking for
- Strong, hands-on experience of TUPE transfers (essential), ideally from both sides
- Solid understanding of UK employment law, especially in relation to organisational change
- Experience working on large-scale change, transformation or separation projects
- Confidence leading or supporting consultation processes
- A practical, solutions-focused approach – someone who can turn legal detail into clear, usable advice
- Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders
- Well organised, able to manage multiple priorities and keep momentum in a busy environment
- Comfortable travelling regularly to UK sites and being present during key moments
CIPD qualification or equivalent experience would be an advantage. Experience with HR systems such as Workday would be helpful, but isn’t essential.
What’s on offer
- A competitive salary and benefits package
- Good annual leave allowance plus bank holidays
- Private medical cover and wellbeing support
- Pension scheme
- Access to employee reward and recognition programmes
- Additional lifestyle and family-focused benefits
This is a great opportunity to play a key role in a high-profile business change programme, making a real difference to how employees experience a significant transition.
The SR Group (UK) Limited is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
