Learning And Development jobs in United Kingdom

Up to £50,000 | Full-time or 4 days per week (reduced hours)

This is not a “keep the policies ticking over” HR role. Gympanzees is building something the UK has never seen before – the first fully inclusive leisure, exercise and play centre for disabled children and young people (0–25) and their families.

And we’re looking for an HR Manager to help build the people, culture and systems that will bring it to life.

You’ll be joining at a pivotal moment. Pre-launch, you’ll shape the workforce, systems and culture. Post‑launch, you’ll be the go‑to HR lead supporting a diverse, values‑driven team delivering real impact every single day.

This is a hands‑on, senior HR role where you’ll combine strategy with delivery – working closely with the CEO, COO and Centre Manager to build a supportive, inclusive and high‑performing organisation.

• Leading all HR activity across Gympanzees, end‑to‑end
• Designing and implementing HR policies, processes and systems from the ground up
• Leading inclusive recruitment and onboarding for staff and volunteers
• Supporting managers with employee relations, performance, wellbeing and developmentBuilding and embedding an accessible, inclusive culture – including supporting neurodivergent and disabled colleagues
• Developing a structured volunteer programme alongside the leadership team
• Championing safeguarding, compliance and best practice throughout the organisation

You’ll likely be someone who:

• Has built or significantly improved HR systems in a growing or start‑up environment
• Is confident across recruitment, onboarding, employee relations and wellbeing
• Brings strong UK employment law and safer recruitment knowledge
• Has experience supporting neurodivergent and disabled colleagues, including reasonable adjustments
• Is organised, proactive and comfortable balancing strategy with hands‑on delivery
• Is genuinely aligned to Gympanzees’ mission and values

Experience in charity, leisure, hospitality, education or people‑centred environments is a plus, but mindset and values matter most.

• Salary up to £50,000 (depending on experience)
• Full‑time or 4 days per week
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays, increasing to 30 with service, plus your birthday off
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Training and development opportunities
• Company pension
