About WeBuyVintage

WeBuyVintage is one of the UK’s largest buyers of jewellery, antiques and collectibles. We run more roadshows than any other UK company - over 250 valuation events every month - bringing trusted experts face-to-face with customers across the country.

In three years, we’ve grown from a pub-table idea into an eight-figure business, with a headcount thats grown from 30-100 in the last 2 years and we’re on a mission to make WeBuyVintage a brand everyone recognises.

The Role:

We are looking for an experienced People & Culture Manager to join our growing People team. Reporting to the Head of People, you’ll join us at an exciting stage of growth and play a key role in building and developing our People function, combining day-to-day HR operations with ownership of core People processes, systems, culture initiatives and projects.

Our People team currently includes two Talent Acquisition Specialists and two Talent Coordinators, based in our Cambridge office, which is home to around 20 employees and growing quickly. With teams across our Cambridge, Leeds and Darlington offices, this is a broad, hands-on role with plenty of opportunity to shape how we do things as the business continues to scale.

Main Tasks & Responsibilities:

  • Manage the employee lifecycle, ensuring People processes run smoothly and effectively.
  • Act as a key point of contact for day-to-day People queries, including HRIS, onboarding, policies and People processes.
  • Own the day-to-day management and development of our HRIS (BrightHR), ensuring accurate employee data, effective processes and strong system adoption.
  • Produce and maintain People reporting, dashboards and key HR metrics.
  • Own and maintain HR documentation, templates, policies and employee records.
  • Partner with the Head of People on an ambitious programme of People & Culture projects over the next 12 months and beyond, including employee engagement surveys, performance review cycles, evolving our company values, and reviewing our benefits offering.
  • Help bring our culture and values to life through People initiatives that strengthen engagement, recognition and connection across the business.
  • Play an active role in the Social Committee, supporting the planning and delivery of company-wide events, including our Summer and Christmas parties, as well as local initiatives and events across our Cambridge, Leeds and Darlington offices.
  • Support internal People communications and initiatives that help employees across our different locations feel informed, connected and engaged.
  • Identify opportunities to improve, simplify and strengthen People processes and the overall employee experience.

Who We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and is comfortable building, improving and adapting People practices as we grow.

Qualifications & Experience:

Essential:

  • Previous experience working in, and a genuine preference for, fast-paced, high-growth environments, ideally within a start-up or scale-up.

  • Good working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice.
  • Strong HRIS experience, with confidence owning and improving HR systems and processes.
  • Comfortable working with People data, reporting and HR metrics.
  • Experience and passion for supporting or delivering People, culture, engagement and employee experience initiatives.
  • Someone who genuinely enjoys contributing to company culture and creating a positive employee experience.
  • Highly organised, adaptable and comfortable managing competing priorities.
  • Comfortable working independently, taking ownership and getting stuck in.

A CIPD qualification is not essential for this role. We’re equally interested in candidates who have developed strong HR expertise through practical experience and/or other relevant professional qualifications or training, such as employment law.

What You’ll Get:

  • 4-day working week (Monday to Thursday)
  • Access to Bright Exchange - enjoy thousands of exclusive employee discounts and perks
  • Employee Assistance Programme - confidential, 24/7 support for you and your immediate family, covering work, personal, and home life matters
  • On-demand professional development - access to BrightHR’s online learning platform to build new skills and support your career progression
  • Competitive pay
  • Be part of a rapidly growing, friendly UK brand

The salary for this role is £40,000 - £50,000 dependent on experience

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
