People & Culture Manager - Creative Agency

An independent creative agency is looking for a People & Culture Manager to join the team. This is a standalone role within a highly collaborative, people-first environment, offering real scope to shape both the day-to-day employee experience and the wider culture of the business.

As the go-to for all things People & Culture, you'll act as a trusted advisor to the business across the full employee lifecycle. From supporting with performance and annual reviews to benefits, recruitment and policy, you'll ensure processes are thoughtful, compliant and aligned with the agency's values. You'll oversee HR operations, including HRIS management (BambooHR) and payroll collation, and lead onboarding and offboarding to create a smooth, welcoming experience.

While operationally focused, there is genuine opportunity to champion ED&I, wellbeing and culture through creating new initiatives.

The ideal candidate will be a HR generalist with at least two years' experience, strong attention to detail and an approachable, proactive style. A background in the creative industries, or a real passion for the sector, would be valued. As a standalone role, confidence and comfort working autonomously are essential. CIPD Level 5 is preferred.
