People Business Partner

At OneAdvanced, we deliver innovative IT solutions that help organisations operate more effectively. Our people play a critical role in that success, and we’re looking for an experienced People Partner to join the team and make a tangible difference to how our business is supported through people decisions.

This is a hands-on, operational People Partner role, working closely with senior leaders to deliver pragmatic, high-impact people solutions. You’ll be a trusted advisor with the confidence and credibility to challenge constructively, influence outcomes, and support the business through complex change, including TUPE.

Please note: This is a hybrid role based in our York office, with travel required across our UK sites.

• Partnering with leaders to understand business priorities and translate them into clear, practical people actions.
• Confidently influencing and challenging senior stakeholders — including pushing back where needed to manage risk and achieve better outcomes.
• Leading complex employee relations cases end-to-end, applying sound judgement and ensuring fair, consistent outcomes.
• Playing a key role in organisational change, including restructures, TUPE, consultations and workforce transitions.
• Supporting organisational design, workforce planning, talent and succession planning in line with business needs.
• Driving effective performance management through coaching leaders, supporting difficult conversations, and embedding accountability.
• Ensuring compliance with UK employment law, internal policies, and HR standards.
• Acting as a visible people lead, strengthening engagement, culture and leadership capability across the organisation.

• 6+ years of progressive HR experience, with at least 2 years in a People Partner, HRBP or senior advisory role.
• Strong, hands-on TUPE experience — this is essential.
• A confident professional presence, able to operate credibly with senior and board-level stakeholders.
• Proven ability to challenge constructively, influence decisions, and hold your ground when required.
• Solid knowledge of UK employment law, HR best practice, and HR systems.
• Strong judgement, communication and problem solving skills.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast paced, service driven environment.
• A practical, operational mindset focused on delivery and impact.
