About the role: 

At OLIVER, our people are everything. We are looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Senior People Partner to join our diverse and dynamic People Team and help us take things to the next level. 

This is not your average HR role. You will be a trusted partner who is genuinely embedded in the business, challenging the status quo, driving meaningful change and delivering a people experience that sets us apart. You will work across all brands within the OLIVER Group, providing expert guidance, proactive support and strategic insight across the full employee lifecycle. 

If you are passionate about people, energised by a fast-paced environment and ready to make a real impact, we would love to hear from you.

Recruitment 

  • Partner with our internal recruitment teams to ensure the hiring needs of the business are met efficiently and effectively 
  • Champion a recruitment experience that reflects our values and commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion 

 

What you need to be great in this role: 

  • Excellent ER expertise – you can run complex HR processes independently and with confidence

  • Strong commercial acumen – you understand business drivers and how people practices enable growth
