About Us
At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
As part of Central Functions, you will be part of the teams that support and enable our network of over 2,500 practices across 20 countries, driving operational excellence, innovation and strategic impact across the business.
Whether your expertise is in Finance, HR, Technology, Marketing, Data, Legal, Operations or another specialist area, your work will help support colleagues and practices to deliver outstanding care to animals and their owners.
About the Role
Help Shape the Future of Leadership and People Performance
We're looking for a dynamic, commercially minded HR Business Partner to join our evolving HR team, supporting a large network of veterinary practices across the Midlands and North of England.
This is a highly influential role where you'll work closely with Practice Leaders, Area Directors and senior stakeholders, helping them strengthen leadership capability and deliver business priorities. You'll be a trusted advisor, coach and challenger, using your HR expertise to translate strategy into practical solutions that drive results.
We're looking for someone who enjoys working directly with operational teams, building meaningful relationships, challenging constructively and helping leaders take ownership of their people agenda.
What You'll Be Doing
As a key member of the HR Business Partnering team, you will:
* Partner with Practice Leaders, Area Directors and senior stakeholders across a geographically diverse region
* Provide pragmatic, commercially focused HR advice that supports business performance and people outcomes
* Coach and develop leaders to build confidence, capability and accountability in people management
* Support leaders with complex employee relations matters and organisational challenges
* Drive key people initiatives including workforce planning and engagement
* Challenge existing thinking and encourage progressive leadership practices
* Build genuine buy-in and engagement through strong relationships and influence
* Collaborate closely with the wider HR team, sharing knowledge and supporting continuous improvement
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an experienced HR professional who combines commercial thinking with strong people skills and the confidence to influence at all levels.
You'll ideally have:
* Significant HR Business Partner experience within a complex, multi-site or operational environment
* Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
* A coaching-led approach to developing leaders and driving accountability
* Commercial awareness and the ability to understand broader business priorities
* The confidence to challenge constructively while maintaining strong working relationships
* The ability to adapt your style to different personalities, situations and leadership capabilities
* Excellent communication, facilitation and problem-solving skills
* CIPD Level 7 qualification or equivalent practical HR experience
About You
You'll be someone who:
* Is naturally curious and forward-thinking
* Enjoys being visible within the business and building strong relationships
* Can quickly build credibility and trust with operational leaders
* Thinks commercially as well as from a people perspective
* Has the emotional intelligence to know when to coach, support and challenge
* Thrives in fast-paced environments where priorities change regularly
* Brings energy, pace and a practical approach to problem solving
* Wants to make a genuine impact rather than simply follow process
Why Join Us?
This is an exciting opportunity to join an HR team that is evolving and helping shape the future leadership culture of the business. You'll have the chance to influence senior stakeholders, support leaders through growth and change, and make a tangible difference to the experience of our people across a large operational network.
Working alongside a collaborative team of HR professionals, you'll be encouraged to bring new ideas, challenge the status quo and help create a more progressive and commercially focused people agenda.
Practical Considerations
* Extensive travel across the Midlands and North of England is required
* You should expect to be travelling and visiting practices approximately 3-4 days per week
* A location within the Midlands, particularly around Derby, would be advantageous, although applications are welcome from candidates across the region
