At MyActive we’re looking for a people professional who can balance empathy with expertise, and who enjoys seeing the real impact of their work.
You’ll play a key role in delivering our organisational purpose by creating the culture and people practices that make MyActive a great place to work. This varied role will also provide trusted HR advice, support positive change, and make sure our people policies and processes are not just compliant, but meaningful and empowering.
What you’ll be doing
- Partner with leaders and managers across MyActive to embed good people practice and nurture an engaged, empowered workforce.
- Support organisational change, workforce planning, and employee engagement, including coordination of the Employee Forum.
- Lead on diversity, inclusion, and wellbeing projects, ensuring MyActive remains an inclusive, forward-thinking employer.
- Provide sound advice on employee relations, case management, and performance.
- Work with external providers on recruitment, payroll, and onboarding to maintain a smooth and consistent employee experience.
- Analyse people data and report on key metrics like turnover, sickness, and training.
- Promote learning and development across the organisation, helping managers and teams grow their skills.
- Contribute to policy development, ensuring alignment with current employment law and best practice.
Who we’re looking for
- Has solid generalist HR experience, ideally at Business Partner level.
- Is confident advising senior leaders while remaining approachable and grounded.
- Understands employment law and can translate it into practical, people-focused solutions.
- Is comfortable working independently in a part-time, high-impact role.
- Can analyse data and spot trends, but never loses sight of the human story behind the numbers.
- Cares about inclusion, wellbeing and creating positive workplace cultures.
Experience within leisure, public sector or community-focused organisations would be beneficial, but what matters most is your mindset.
We’re looking for someone who believes that great organisations are built on trust, fairness and genuine collaboration.
Why join MyActive?
Because this is more than an HR role.
- You’ll be joining an organisation that is:
- Moving from traditional leisure to holistic active wellbeing
- Investing in new facilities, including a £17 million development in Leek
- Committed to partnership working across councils and health systems
- Focused on reducing inequality and improving lives through movement
You’ll have the chance to influence culture at a formative stage, working directly with senior leaders and colleagues across all sites.
And you’ll see the difference your work makes, not just in policies or reports, but in the day-to-day experiences of people who deliver services that change lives.
