About a career with Elis

About Elis

Elis is an international leader in textile, hygiene and facility services, helping businesses across a wide range of industries to operate safely, sustainably and efficiently. With a presence in 29 countries and a team of around 52,000 people, we combine the scale and stability of an international organisation with the opportunity to build a rewarding and long-term career.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We believe in investing in our people, recognising their contribution and giving them the opportunity to develop, progress and build careers they can be proud of.

At Elis, you'll be part of a culture built on trust, respect and collaboration, where your ideas and contribution are valued. We want our people to have a voice, and our commitment to listening and acting on employee feedback was recognised when Elis UK won Best Employee Engagement Experience Initiative at the 2024 CIPD People Management Awards for our Employee Voice programme.

With opportunities across operations, engineering, logistics, sales and our head office support functions, there are many ways to develop your career with Elis.

The Opportunity

Are you an experienced HR Business Partner who enjoys working closely with senior leaders, influencing business decisions and making a genuine difference to people and organisational performance?

We're looking for a commercially minded and forward-thinking Regional HR Business Partner to join our UK HR leadership team.

Reporting directly to our HR Director, you'll work in partnership with the Regional Director and senior leadership team, shaping and delivering people strategies across a diverse, multi-site operation.

This is an opportunity to move beyond reactive HR and play an influential role in developing leadership capability, driving organisational change and building a high-performing, engaged workforce.

You'll have the autonomy to challenge, influence and introduce improvements, supported by a collaborative UK HR team and specialist colleagues across the business.

What You'll Be Doing

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an established HR professional who combines strong commercial awareness with the ability to build relationships, influence decisions and deliver meaningful organisational change.

You'll bring:

• Significant experience as an HR Business Partner or HR Manager within a regional, multi-site environment.
• A proven track record of partnering with senior leaders and influencing business and people decisions.
• Strong knowledge of UK employment law and experience managing complex employee relations matters.
• Experience in workforce planning, organisational change, talent management and leadership development.
• Confidence using people data and insight to identify trends, challenge thinking and support decision-making.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to constructively challenge senior leaders.
• CIPD Level 5 or equivalent professional experience, alongside degree-level education or equivalent practical experience.
• The flexibility to travel regularly across regional sites.

Experience within a fast-paced, operational, manufacturing, logistics or other multi-site environment would be particularly relevant.

Above all, you'll be someone who enjoys being close to the business, understands operational challenges and can balance strategic thinking with practical delivery.

What We Offer

At Elis, we believe great people should be recognised, supported and given the opportunity to grow. In return for the impact you’ll make, you’ll receive a strong benefits package and the opportunity to build a long-term career within an established international business.

We offer:

• Competitive salary
• Car allowance – £6,250 per annum to support your regional travel.
• Performance-related bonus – 15% bonus opportunity.
• 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays – giving you time to switch off and recharge.
• Private medical cover – supporting your health and wellbeing.
• Company pension – 5% employer contribution alongside 5% employee contribution.
• Life assurance – providing additional peace of mind for you and your family.
• Flexible and hybrid working – balancing time working remotely with regular visits to our regional sites.
• Investment in your development – ongoing training and opportunities to strengthen your strategic HR and leadership capabilities.
• Genuine career progression – opportunities to develop your career across Elis UK and our wider international business.
• Long-term stability – joining an established, successful international organisation.
• A role where you can make an impact – with the autonomy to influence people strategy, partner with senior leaders and shape organisational performance.
