The posting

Company Description

People Manager

London

£40,000 - £45,000, depending on experience

Great employee experiences start with people who care. If you enjoy building relationships, solving problems and helping managers bring out the best in their teams, this could be your next move.

Join Portico as our People Manager and help create an inclusive, engaging workplace where people can thrive.

Working closely with our People Business Partner, you’ll combine hands-on HR support with manager coaching and people initiatives making a difference across our Support Office and client sites.

From guiding a sensitive employee relations conversation to improving the onboarding journey, you’ll bring warmth, sound judgement and a practical approach to every interaction.

Job Description

What you’ll do

  • Be a trusted HR contact. Support employees and managers with day-to-day queries and employee relations matters, working with our external HR consultants and escalating complex cases to the People Business Partner.
  • Build managers’ confidence. Coach and advise on investigations, disciplinaries, grievances, attendance and performance, helping managers handle constructive conversations.
  • Make key transitions feel seamless. Support onboarding, TUPE transfers, mobilisations and restructure consultations, working closely with payroll to keep documentation and processes on track.
  • Help our culture thrive. Support engagement and inclusion initiatives, employee recognition and our annual Loyalty Awards, alongside the administration of Heartbeat and Perkbox.
  • Turn insight into action. Analyse people data, spot trends and help identify opportunities to improve the employee experience.
  • Keep the essentials running smoothly. Maintain accurate records, support policy reviews and HR audits, manage the People Team inbox and provide wider administrative support.

Qualifications

What you’ll bring

You’re approachable, organised and comfortable balancing empathy with clear, practical advice. You take ownership, handle sensitive information with discretion and stay focused when priorities change.

  • At least three years of progressive UK HR experience, including hands-on employee relations work and delivery of HR processes.
  • CIPD Level 3 or equivalent practical experience, with strong knowledge of UK employment legislation and the ACAS Code of Practice.
  • Experience in a premium service, people-centric environment, with the confidence to build relationships across teams and management.
  • The ability to interpret HR data, report on trends and work to service standards and key performance indicators.
  • Familiarity with payroll and HR systems, such as Dayforce, and intermediate to advanced skills in Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
  • Experience supporting TUPE processes would be highly beneficial; confidence presenting data and business updates in corporate settings would also be welcome.

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.
