People and Culture Business Partner

About [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]

[Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] is a flourishing group of three East Cambridgeshire practices in Ely, Haddenham and Soham, together serving c.45,000 patients. As a group, we’ve grown rapidly and now employ more than 170 people across the three practices. We are people-centred in our approach to work and believe that every contact that a patient has with our staff is as valuable as the next in the patient journey. We believe in clinical excellence, and that general practice is the cornerstone of well-being in our community. We are innovative and forward-looking, and we embrace technology to enable more effective, efficient, and connected ways of working to deliver ever better outcomes for our patients.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of People and Culture, you will be the dedicated people partner for our GP and clinical workforce, and the owner of our organisational Learning & Development programme. This is a varied and genuinely interesting role that sits at the heart of how we support, develop, and manage our people.

A key part of this role is building effective working relationships with our GP and clinical workforce — colleagues who are highly qualified, often time-pressured, and who expect to be supported by someone who understands their world. Alongside this, you will take a leading role in shaping and delivering our Learning & Development programme across the organisation.

We are looking for someone with CIPD Level 5 and experience of working in a regulated or professionally complex environment — someone who understands what it means to support a workforce of qualified professionals, and who has the credibility, interpersonal skill, and organisational capability to do this well. Healthcare experience is desirable but not essential; what matters most is the right combination of professional grounding, personal approach, and genuine curiosity about how primary care works.

Your Responsibilities

GP & Clinical Workforce

• Act as a trusted, discreet, and neutral point of contact for GPs and clinical staff on people matters.
• Work with clinical teams to build a genuine mutual understanding of the practical, operational, and contractual demands of working in primary care.
• Manage the operational HR processes for the GP workforce, including recruitment, onboarding, leave management, flexible working requests, occupational health referrals, and supporting appraisals and revalidations.
• Liaise with and support Lead GPs in their mentoring and supervisory roles.
• Coordinate the planning, approval, and management of clinical placements including GP fellows, retainer scheme participants, and medical students.
• Provide day-to-day HR guidance to practice managers on clinical workforce matters.

Learning & Development

• Co-design and take ownership of an annual L&D plan covering clinical and non-clinical staff.
• Bring ideas and initiative to the programme — researching content, identifying providers, and proposing how to invest the training budget.
• Coordinate training delivery across the organisation, working with service teams to protect adequate time for staff undergoing training.
• Improve the quality of weekly clinical meeting support.
• Support the planning and organisation of quarterly Clinical Governance closure days.
• Maintain records of training activity, mandatory compliance, and programme spend.

You should have or be

• CIPD qualified at Level 5 or above
• Experienced in working within a regulated, professional, or public sector environment
• Personally credible and interpersonally skilled
• Highly organised and process-confident
• Clear and confident communicator
• Genuinely curious about how primary care works

Advantageous

• Experience in an NHS, primary care, or wider healthcare setting
• Familiarity with GP employment frameworks, BMA contracts, or ARRS roles
• Experience designing or coordinating structured L&D programmes
