Why This Role is Exciting:
As the first dedicated Head of HR for PFM, you’ll have the unique opportunity in this senior role to drive strategic HR initiatives that fuel the growth of a well-established real estate leader.
With the freedom to shape the role, you’ll work closely with senior leadership and the Group HR team to develop and implement culture-shaping frameworks, build high-performance teams, and champion initiatives that increase engagement, performance, and retention.
We would love to meet someone who has delivered impactful change particularly around the performance, retention and development of employees in a similarly fast-paced, high-growth environment and in a similar sector (FM and Contact Centre backgrounds are of particular interest).
We are especially keen to see people who have managed TUPE transfers from a strategic perspective including post-TUPE change programmes.

* Strategize for Success: Drive succession planning, talent development, and performance frameworks to identify and nurture high-potential colleagues.
* Build People Processes: Implement a robust cycle of people processes, from goal-setting to performance reviews, ensuring alignment with Group-wide initiatives.
* Support Managers: Act as a trusted coach and escalation point on all people-related issues, providing guidance on performance management, employee relations, and organizational design.
About You:
* Industry relevance: You bring demonstrated experience as a Head of HR or Senior HR Business Partner within Facilities Management or a comparable sector (backgrounds in contact centres are particularly valued).
* Strategic Impact: Strong track record of delivering strategic projects that impact positively on employee engagement, performance, retention and other key people metrics.
* Leadership: An experienced, engaging leader with strong communication skills and a hands-on approach.
* Stakeholder Management: You excel at building relationships and influencing at all levels, from junior colleagues to senior leadership.
* Change Management: Experience with designing and embedding values that foster an inclusive, high-performance culture.
* Adaptable: Willing to travel across the UK as needed, including regular visits to our London and Birmingham offices.
* Technically strong: Experienced in large scale TUPE transfers, complex ER matters and well-versed in employment legislation.
What We Offer:
* Competitive Salary + Benefits
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays
* Private Medical Insurance and Healthcare Cash Plan
