HR Business Partner

We are Benenden Health

We were founded in 1905 with the purpose of people joining together to help pay for medical care for when they might need it. This remains our core purpose today. We still exist for the sole benefit of our members and remain a not-for-profit society.

The original mission was to help provide treatment for postal workers suffering from Tuberculosis (TB). Today, our mission is to help regular hard-working people avoid the worry and complications that waiting on the NHS can bring.

Our only passion is to improve the quality of our members’ lives, as it always has been. Today we have over 800,000 members, tomorrow we aim for many more. Our vision is to be the UK’s leading healthcare community, making life better for all our members and wider society by taking the strain off the NHS.

With a 115-year history and a mutual ethos, Benenden Health is a unique place to work. Whatever the department, no 2 days are ever the same and the opportunities are as diverse as the members we serve.

We have an exciting opportunity for a HR Business Partner to join our HR Department on a fixed term contract for 18 months. Initially home based, going forward, a hybrid approach will be taken with some attendance in York required.
