We're growing fast on our mission to be the employer of choice in hospitality, everywhere we operate - so this an exciting time to hop on board. We Believe in Growing Good Things Growth is at the heart of everything we do. From the freshly hand made food we create every day, to supporting our teams, we help our people grow in confidence, skills and to pursue their unique paths. Pret is where passionate, hardworking, wonderful people (like you!) find what they need to shine. And the proof is in the pudding - over 80% of our Managers started on the shop floor! So did 20% of our Support Centre teams, including our CEO, Pano. What we're looking for We're looking for passionate team players to bring joy to our customers every day-starting with the teams that serve them. As Senior HR BP, reporting to the UK & International People Director, you'll be a key voice on the UK and International People Senior Leadership Team, shaping how we drive operational excellence through our people. Your mission? To make sure every Operations team has the right people, in the right roles, at the right time-with clear succession plans, strong bench strength, and "aces in places." You'll align our HR strategy with operational goals, helping our shops deliver exceptional results while building a culture grounded in well-being, equity, and consistent, high-integrity employee relations. You'll lead and coach two Business Partners, each responsible for ER, People Policies, DEB, and Well being across multiple regions. Together, you'll embed best in class people practices, strengthen leadership capability, and ensure our workforce is engaged, supported, and set up to thrive. Key Responsibilities Drive Operational performance through a People lens Partner with Operations Directors and Managers to optimise succession in our shops-maintaining a clear, simple view of "ready now/ready soon" talent from Leader AM GM, including cross training needs and development actions. Own and lead talent cycles for Ops and GMs, running monthly performance calibrations to assess potential, address gaps, and ensure timely Performance Improvement Plans where needed. Convert commercial goals (speed of service, NPS, comp sales, EBITDA, etc.) into clear people KPIs and actionable, region specific plans that drive real world impact. Implement a coaching first performance framework, setting clear standards, enabling regular check ins, and building feedback and recognition into daily routines.

Design and embed people interventions-from training and recognition to feedback loops-that enhance operational efficiency, service quality, and customer satisfaction. Lead and develop your team (2 People Business Partners) Set priorities, coach, and develop both PBPs; ensure regional coverage is aligned to trading patterns and risk. Create a joined up playbook where ER/Policy and DEB/Wellbeing reinforce each other (e.g., inclusive scheduling reduces ER risk). Build future bench (succession) for People Partner roles; champion psychological safety and continuous learning. ER & Policy (oversight and escalation) Ensure policies are clear, accessible, inclusive, and compliant with UK employment law and the ACAS Code. Oversee complex cases (grievance, discipline, capability, discrimination, whistleblowing); coach managers to resolve early and fairly. Maintain consistent practice on right to work, National Minimum/Living Wage, holiday pay, Working Time Regulations, under 18 protections, data privacy (GDPR), and safe scheduling. Lead policy updates for legislation or operational change (e.g., acquisitions/TUPE, restructures). DEB & Wellbeing (strategy to shop floor) Deliver a DEB roadmap focused on practical behaviours: inclusive leadership, fair access to hours & development, etc. Expand wellbeing: MHFA network, manager confidence in conversations, signposting, crisis support; measure usage and impact. Partner with L&D to ensure inclusive talent pathways (Leader AM GM), apprenticeship optimisation, and equitable promotion decisions. Strategic & Continuous Improvement Forecast people related risks & opportunities in operations and help shape strategic planning accordingly. Benchmark practices against peers/industry standards and recommend innovative people solutions. Lead change initiatives related to performance management, employee engagement, and process improvements. What success looks like Retention: Frontline 90 day turnover 100%; Annualised overall turnover 50% Labour productivity: Improved labour productivity through smarter scheduling, skills mix, and attendance gains.

Senior People Business Partner We're Pret: proud makers of freshly made food, organic coffee, and big ideas. Across 750+ shops and 20+ countries, our teams are shaping the future of Pret through innovation, inclusion, great customer service and a shared passion for doing the right thing. We're growing fast on our mission to be the employer of choice in hospitality, everywhere we operate - so this an exciting time to hop on board. We Believe in Growing Good Things Growth is at the heart of everything we do. From the freshly hand made food we create every day, to supporting our teams, we help our people grow in confidence, skills and to pursue their unique paths. Pret is where passionate, hardworking, wonderful people (like you!) find what they need to shine. And the proof is in the pudding - over 80% of our Managers started on the shop floor! So did 20% of our Support Centre teams, including our CEO, Pano. What we're looking for We're looking for passionate team players to bring joy to our customers every day-starting with the teams that serve them. As Senior HR BP, reporting to the UK & International People Director, you'll be a key voice on the UK and International People Senior Leadership Team, shaping how we drive operational excellence through our people. Your mission? To make sure every Operations team has the right people, in the right roles, at the right time-with clear succession plans, strong bench strength, and "aces in places." You'll align our HR strategy with operational goals, helping our shops deliver exceptional results while building a culture grounded in well-being, equity, and consistent, high-integrity employee relations. You'll lead and coach two Business Partners, each responsible for ER, People Policies, DEB, and Well being across multiple regions. Together, you'll embed best in class people practices, strengthen leadership capability, and ensure our workforce is engaged, supported, and set up to thrive. Key Responsibilities Drive Operational performance through a People lens Partner with Operations Directors and Managers to optimise succession in our shops-maintaining a clear, simple view of "ready now/ready soon" talent from Leader AM GM, including cross training needs and development actions. Own and lead talent cycles for Ops and GMs, running monthly performance calibrations to assess potential, address gaps, and ensure timely Performance Improvement Plans where needed. Convert commercial goals (speed of service, NPS, comp sales, EBITDA, etc.) into clear people KPIs and actionable, region specific plans that drive real world impact. Implement a coaching first performance framework, setting clear standards, enabling regular check ins, and building feedback and recognition into daily routines. Run practical, high impact manager training focused on coaching, feedback, ER fundamentals, and inclusive leadership-delivered in bite sized, on the job formats. Partner with Operations leadership to translate business objectives into meaningful people performance metrics and deliverables. Monitor, analyse, and report on key people KPIs (turnover, absenteeism, performance, engagement, etc.), identifying trends and driving root cause solutions. Design and embed people interventions-from training and recognition to feedback loops-that enhance operational efficiency, service quality, and customer satisfaction. Lead and develop your team (2 People Business Partners) Set priorities, coach, and develop both PBPs; ensure regional coverage is aligned to trading patterns and risk. Create a joined up playbook where ER/Policy and DEB/Wellbeing reinforce each other (e.g., inclusive scheduling reduces ER risk). Build future bench (succession) for People Partner roles; champion psychological safety and continuous learning. ER & Policy (oversight and escalation) Ensure policies are clear, accessible, inclusive, and compliant with UK employment law and the ACAS Code. Oversee complex cases (grievance, discipline, capability, discrimination, whistleblowing); coach managers to resolve early and fairly. Maintain consistent practice on right to work, National Minimum/Living Wage, holiday pay, Working Time Regulations, under 18 protections, data privacy (GDPR), and safe scheduling. Lead policy updates for legislation or operational change (e.g., acquisitions/TUPE, restructures). DEB & Wellbeing (strategy to shop floor) Deliver a DEB roadmap focused on practical behaviours: inclusive leadership, fair access to hours & development, etc. Expand wellbeing: MHFA network, manager confidence in conversations, signposting, crisis support; measure usage and impact. Partner with L&D to ensure inclusive talent pathways (Leader AM GM), apprenticeship optimisation, and equitable promotion decisions. Strategic & Continuous Improvement Forecast people related risks & opportunities in operations and help shape strategic planning accordingly. Benchmark practices against peers/industry standards and recommend innovative people solutions. Lead change initiatives related to performance management, employee engagement, and process improvements. What success looks like Retention: Frontline 90 day turnover 100%; Annualised overall turnover 50% Labour productivity: Improved labour productivity through smarter scheduling, skills mix, and attendance gains. Absence: Unplanned absence below 2% Experience: Engagement score to be in the top 10% of industry peers ER health: Improve case volumes/time to resolution and zero upheld claims where policy was followed. Capability: 90% of managers achieving the desired performance with clear bench strength for Ams, GMs, Ops and Heads of Operations. Compliance: 100% on right to work, working time, under 18 protections, and policy adoption; audit ready always. Experience & Skills Required Solid senior HR/People Partnering in QSR/retail/hospitality or similar high volume, multi site environment. Confident line leader (managed 2-4+ professionals); proven at building capability in others. Strong ER/Policy grounding with UK employment law; comfortable with complexity and pace. Demonstrable DEB & Wellbeing delivery that improved outcomes (not just events/comms). Data driven and pragmatic: can translate dashboards into store level actions managers actually use. Excellent relationship skills; able to influence Ops leaders and keep things simple. Clear, inclusive communication-spoken and written.
