Head of Human Resources

Are you an experienced HR professional who thrives in a fast-paced, people-first environment? Do you love the buzz of a dynamic business where no two days are the same – and where your voice genuinely matters?Moxie People is thrilled to be partnering with one of London’s leading wellness brands to find a brilliant Head of HR to join their team. This is an exciting opportunity for a confident, proactive self-starter who’s ready to make their mark in a standalone (but far from isolated) role with plenty of scope for impact. Location:

Central London – 5 minutes from Liverpool Street (Hybrid, 70% office-based, with travel across various London sites)Contract: Full-time, PermanentSalary: £70-75,000Start date: ASAPAbout the RoleThis isn’t your typical HR job. You’ll be stepping into a high-energy, purpose-led business where collaboration, creativity, and culture are at the heart of everything. Reporting into the Chief of Staff (with a dotted line to the CEO), you’ll help shape a people strategy that genuinely works – for everyone from studio teams to senior leaders.

You’ll be just as comfortable advising SLT on business-critical people topics as you are rolling up your sleeves to update policies or support a new starter. If you're commercially sharp, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and love building great culture – you'll feel right at home. Bonus points if you’re passionate about health and fitness, too. You’ll also have part-time support from a fab HR Assistant – but this role needs someone who’s confident working autonomously and ready to lead the HR function end to end.
