Harris Hill is delighted to be working on behalf of National Parks Partnerships (NPP) to recruit a People Manager. NPP is a small and entrepreneurial organisation that identifies, secures and manages commercial and strategic partnerships for the UK’s 15 National Parks, helping to grow their impact, resources and influence while supporting action on the climate and biodiversity crises. As NPP continues to grow, this is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of its people function and play a key role in supporting the organisation’s development.
The role is offered on a salary of £40,135 FTE (non-negotiable) and is available on a full-time basis, with the possibility of working four days per week. This is a one-year fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension, and is fully remote, with occasional UK travel required.
Sitting within the Operations team and reporting to the Head of Operations, the People Manager will lead NPP’s day-to-day HR function as a largely standalone HR professional. You will develop and implement HR strategies, policies and processes across the employee lifecycle, providing trusted advice to the CEO, Head of Operations, SLT and line managers. You will lead recruitment activity, support managers with performance, probation and employee relations processes, oversee annual leave and absence, payroll administration and pay awards, and ensure NPP continues to meet its employment, health and safety and data protection obligations. You will also play an important role in developing organisational culture, embedding NPP’s Manifesto, competency framework and behaviours, and ensuring equality, diversity and inclusion remain central to its people practices. Alongside the core HR remit, you will support the wider Operations team with external agencies, suppliers and procurement activity, including maintaining supplier relationships, supporting purchasing processes and ensuring compliance with relevant procurement requirements.
We are looking for an experienced People & Culture professional with a strong track record of developing and implementing HR policies and strategies, managing HR projects, and supporting organisational change, as well as experience leading recruitment processes from job design through to shortlisting and interviewing. You will be a clear thinker, confident decision-maker and excellent communicator who can build strong relationships across an organisation and with external partners. Experience of payroll, EDI, health and safety, procurement or working within a purpose-led organisation or public authority would be advantageous.
To apply, please submit your up-to-date CV by 27 September at 23:59. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to submit a tailored cover letter after reviewing the full job description.
Please note that only applicants with an unrestricted right to work in the UK will be considered for this position.
Please note, only successful applicants will be contacted with further information.
