As the UK’s largest independent museum trust, we look after nine iconic sites and a passionate team of over 150 people. We’re looking for a HR Manager to join our Transformation department and ensure our people are as inspired as the visitors who walk through our doors.

Reporting to the Director of Transformation, you’ll lead the People & Culture team with a blend of technical precision and genuine empathy. You’ll be the heartbeat of a dispersed workforce, moving between sites to coach managers, lead diversity initiatives that reflect our vibrant city, and act as a trusted advisor on everything from complex employee relations to performance management. You’ll oversee two direct reports, ensuring our recruitment and payroll functions run like clockwork while keeping our policies robust and compliant.

You’ll be an established HR professional with a CIPD Level 5 qualification or equivalent. You’ll have a good technical background in HR information systems and payroll, and the ability to identify training needs and manage supplier contracts effectively.

This is an exciting time to join us, as we seek to move confidently forward with a clear strategy and the culture that supports it, which this role is key to the delivery of.
