Job Description

Working in a small UK HR team of 2 for this Pharma company in Reading.

As the HR Business Partner - Pharma, you will report to the UK HRD and will provide a very hands-on, operational and Generalist HR service, encompassing all aspects of HR.

You will support a client group that includes Sales, Marketing, Medically trained specialists, Medical Access, Finance, Logistics, IT and Facilities.

  • First point of contact for all people-related questions and advice.
  • Employee Relations - low volume, fairly 'gentle' cases typically. They currently have two live ER cases.
  • Recruitment - own the recruitment process. Look to do more direct recruitment, look to use LinkedIn more.
  • Learning and Development - conduct TNA/LNA, and design and deliver appropriate learning interventions off the back of these results.
  • Payroll - updating and collating the Payroll data and sending it to the outsourced provider ADP for processing.
  • HRIS - they use Workday, but don't use its full capability, so someone who can help to develop the functionality within Workday would be very advantageous.
  • Change management - support HRD with all change management-related activities.
  • Work with the HRD to help embed and support the newer members of the Leadership team.
  • HR Administration - support across the full employee lifecycle.
  • Contribute to a variety of key HR projects including DE&I initiatives.



You will be required to work from the Reading office (not central Reading) two days per week.
