We are seeking applications for this exciting opportunity to work as part of a small team of Business Partners (BPs) assigned to the University’s Faculty of Humanities.

You will be responsible for working in partnership with the Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) to provide a high quality HR and organisational development service that is customer-focused and drives performance improvement.  You will also have responsibilities across the wider Faculty and University as part of a team of BPs.   You will be required to develop HR plans to support the School’s strategy and objectives, as well as providing support on employee relations matters.   As a member of AMBS’s leadership team, you will be expected to demonstrate value added by reference to a number of metrics.

Professionally qualified to MCIPD level, or with a broad based business qualification supported by practical human resources experience, you will have up-to-date knowledge of good practice and developments in HR with an excellent grasp of the legal and regulatory framework.
