Job Introduction

Senior HR Business Partner

Shape the future of health and social care

At Turning Point, we're looking for an experienced Senior People Partner to join our People Team and play a key role in supporting senior leaders across a diverse and complex operational landscape.

This isn't a traditional HR role.

As a trusted partner to operational, quality and clinical leaders, you'll help shape workforce decisions that directly impact the quality of services delivered to the people we support. You'll influence business direction, coach leaders through complex challenges, and translate Organisational ambitions into practical strategic people solutions that drive sustainable results.

You'll also lead and develop a small team of experienced People Partners, working collaboratively across the wider business to deliver enterprise-wide meaningful change in a fast-paced, growing and rewarding environment.

We have head offices in Manchester and London, which are both within close proximity to transport links. The role will be home based with travel to head office and services when required. There is also the option of hybrid working.

This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible role where you'll work alongside senior leaders, influence significant business decisions and directly contribute to the shaping of the future organisations direction of a large influential national Health and Social Care organisation.

You'll join a values-led organisation that is committed to improving lives, investing in its people, and creating opportunities for colleagues to thrive.

If you're looking for a role where you can combine strategic thinking with practical delivery and see the real impact of your work, we'd love to hear from you.
