Job description
People Business Partner Type: 12-month FTC – 37.5 hours per week Location: UA92 Campuses Salary: £50,000 Closing Date: 31st of May 2026 (Please note this advert may close early) Why UA92 We’re UA92. Deliberately different. Born from the Class of ’92 and Lancaster University, we exist to do things differently break down barriers, open up opportunities, and deliver an outstanding student experience that genuinely changes lives. But none of that happens without our people. The Role This is a hands-on People Business Partner role focused on supporting Managers to lead their teams effectively, improving how we work, and delivering practical people solutions that make a difference day to day. You’ll partner with leaders across UA92 to strengthen people management, bring clarity to challenges, and improve team effectiveness. Alongside this, you’ll play a key role in embedding policy, delivering HR improvements and projects, and using insight to help us make better, more consistent decisions. Employee relations are part of the role, but the focus is on getting ahead of issues, building manager capability, and creating a more consistent and proactive approach to people management. It’s varied, visible, and will have a direct impact on how people experience working at UA92. What You’ll Be Doing: Supporting and coaching Managers to lead teams effectively and handle people matters with confidence. Supporting on day-to-day HR activity across ER, absence and performance, with a focus on early intervention and consistency. Reviewing, developing and embedding people policies that are clear and work in practice. Delivering HR projects and improvements that enhance how we operate and support our people. Using data and insight to identify trends, risks and opportunities, and turning this into practical action. What We’re Looking For We’re looking for a strong HR generalist who can operate with confidence in a fast-moving environment. You’ll bring: Experience operating at HR Business Partner or Senior HR Advisor level. A solid grounding in UK employment law and how to apply it pragmatically. Experience supporting and coaching Managers on a range of people matters. Experience delivering HR projects or improving processes. Confidence working with and influencing senior stakeholders. The ability to balance people, risk and organisational reality when making decisions. Experience in higher education or a regulated environment would be helpful but isn’t essential. Our Values At UA92, how we do things matters just as much as what we do: We Care – about our people, our students and each other. We’re Inclusive – creating opportunities and removing barriers. We’re Brave and Bold – willing to challenge, try and improve. Who You Are: Credible and straightforward, able to build trust quickly. Comfortable dealing with challenge and supporting Managers through it. Practical and solutions-focused, with a focus on what will work. Able to balance the bigger picture with day-to-day delivery. Values-led, with a genuine commitment to doing the right thing. Why UA92 You’ll be joining at a point where you can genuinely shape how we manage people improving consistency, building capability, and helping us operate more effectively as we grow. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion UA92 is committed to building a diverse and inclusive community. We actively encourage applications from individuals from underrepresented backgrounds and those with non-traditional career paths. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. UA92 cannot sponsor visas for this role. When you click apply you will be taken to our careers page to complete your application
