Job: HR Business Partner

We are ParalympicsGB, the National Paralympic Committee for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

We select, prepare, fund, and manage the ParalympicsGB team at Summer and Winter Paralympic Games. Together with athletes and the governing bodies of their sports, we have become world-class in sending Best Prepared teams to the Paralympic Games.

But ParalympicsGB is far more than a world-leading sports team, winning medals across a diverse range of sports.

As set out in our strategy, Championing Change, we drive positive, sustainable change for disabled people in the UK, using the positive power of the Paralympics and Paralympic athletes to inspire a change in attitudes to disability and bring about equality for disabled people in sport, education and society.

Our success is built on the amazing performances of disabled athletes, people who show that talent and potential is strong across all of society. We are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader, reflecting our passion for disability inclusion. We are committed to supporting people with disabilities or long-term conditions by removing barriers that they may face at work.

If you can do the job, we want you to apply. We aim to create a truly inclusive, welcoming environment where every member of our team can thrive and where every individual feels their contribution matters, regardless of identity or background.

ParalympicsGB is seeking an organised, supportive and proactive HR Business Partner to lead all aspects of HR across ParalympicsGB and oversee the design, coordination, and delivery of learning and development (L&D) for a workforce of approximately 50 employees. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of ParalympicsGB as we prepare the team for the LA 2028 Paralympic Games and beyond.

You’ll feel at home providing expert guidance to Directors, Heads of Department and Managers, supporting implementation of best practice across HR and Performance management, and overseeing the development of inclusive learning and development programmes that meet the needs of all colleagues.

Through this, they will also have demonstrated ability to ensure the delivery of impactful people development plans and to support managers in setting high-quality objectives and conducting effective performance reviews.

You’ll bring strong interpersonal and organisational skills, excellent attention to detail, and a willingness to entertain new ideas and seize opportunities.
