Are you people focused? Can you challenge conventional thinking and influence a mindset change? If so, come and join EDF as a People Partner!

The Opportunity

We pride ourselves on being trusted partners who have a thorough understanding of the business areas we support. This enables us to design people strategies that deliver pragmatic and commercial solutions to help the business areas achieve their goals. Employee experience is at the heart of what we do. We strive to put people before processes, and we support our leaders to create an environment where their team members feel able to bring their whole selves to work.

As the People Partner, you will design and deliver targeted initiatives that support the overarching People Strategy!

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a salary of circa £45,000 (DOE) and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.

At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.  

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work across the wider People team, identifying opportunities for cross collaboration, tailoring initiatives as appropriate. Working in partnership with Senior Leaders within your business area, you’ll coach and influence them on a wide range of people topics and issues.

You will work closely with the Senior People Partner and our centres of excellence, getting involved with a whole range of people initiatives across the employee lifecycle ranging from recruitment and skills development to supporting organisational change programmes.

As the People Partner, you’ll use data and insights to identify and implement targeted value add actions that address people issues within your business area and drive business performance. You’ll coach and support people managers with their engagement and experience plans to ensure the People Experience is continually being improved.

You’ll build and maintain excellent relationships with various stakeholders, including centres of excellence, leaders and TU’s, developing an in-depth understanding of the business area you support.

Who you are

We’re looking for somebody with excellent relationship building skills with a reputation for integrity, evoking trust and openness in senior leadership, colleagues and team members alike.

Your behaviours and approach are key to success! You will have an outcome-based approach to HR, and you’ll focus on the human/people side, always thinking of the impact of your approach on the overall employee experience.

You’ll be creative, yet pragmatic; conceptual, but able to deliver at speed and with a focus on continuous improvement in all areas of your work!

Previous experience working in a generalist HR Role would be beneficial.

If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!
