The opportunity

Due to internal promotion and ongoing investment in our people, UAL is seeking a proven HR Business Partner to support the delivery of an exceptional HR service and play a key role in deploying our long-term People Strategy. This is a great opportunity to advance your HR career within a world leading organisation undergoing an exciting period of change.

 As Senior HR Business Partner, you will lead on business partnering work within a designated client group, inspire and coach other HR Business Partners and be a part of the Business Partnering Hub, working under the overall direction of the Associate Director of HR (Business Partnering).

Our client groups have multiple Directors to support. As an experienced and established business partner, you will be expected to deal effectively with a large complex client group on a wide range of business issues and offer advice, coaching and support to less experienced colleagues.

London is core to who we are, a place where we meet and share ideas with people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Our creative network influences learning, culture, industry and society on a global scale.

We work with students at every level from pre-degree and short courses to postgraduate and online learning, enabling them to build the careers they want.

Application process

We operate a fair and open anonymous selection process. Thus, you will need to create an account and submit an application through our job board. As part of this, you will need to provide a supporting statement/answer some competency questions to demonstrate your suitability. Our recruitment process involves: Application, Shortlisting, Interview and Assessment, Offer, Onboarding.

We understand the benefits of using AI in work. But, if you are thinking of using it to submit an application, we ask you to think about what value it adds.
