About the role
Junior People Partner | London
OakNorth has lent over $21 billion, helped create 58,000 homes and 36,000 jobs since 2015. We move fast, think commercially, and build things that last. Now we're looking for a Junior People Partner to grow with us.
The role
This is a hands-on generalist position sitting within a lean, high-performing People Team. You'll support Senior People Partners across UK and US employee populations — handling real ER cases, contributing to people projects, and partnering directly with managers from day one. No busy work; genuine exposure.
What you'll do
Own ER cases end-to-end — managing documentation, advising managers, and escalating where needed
Support day-to-day partnering across UK and US populations, including performance, probation, and organisational change
Contribute to People Team projects and cyclical processes (e.g., performance reviews, engagement, workforce planning), supporting research, coordination, documentation, and delivery.
Produce people data reporting (e.g., headcount, attrition, ER trends, engagement and performance), preparing clear summaries to support People Partner decision-making.
Bring an AI-first mindset — using tools to streamline project delivery and reporting, improving scalability and the overall employee experience.
What we're looking for
HR experience in a fast-paced or high-growth environment
Solid ER experience managing complex cases with confidence
Strong working knowledge of UK employment law; US exposure is a plus
Commercially minded, organised, and comfortable with data and HRIS systems
CIPD qualified or working towards it (or equivalent experience)
Desirable: HiBob experience, financial services background, proven use of AI tools to redesign people processes.
You'll be great if you...
Get energised by variety — no two days looking the same doesn't faze you, it motivates you
Can hold a difficult conversation with care and confidence, and know when to escalate
Think beyond process — you're curious about the why behind people decisions, not just the what
Are comfortable with ambiguity and find your own way to structure and prioritise
Spot a smarter way of doing something and actually do something about it
Want to build a career in People, not just fill a role
If you're early in your People career and want broad exposure, real responsibility, and room to grow — we'd like to hear from you.
