Moving to a standalone HR role from a big corporate HR team...

Hi All!

Just wondering whether anyone has experienced going from a corporate company with a big HR team to a stand alone HR role incorporating everything HR, Recruitment and L&D. Whether there is anything to consider/weigh up and any challenges you've faced making the jump?

Thank you

  • Hi Charlie 

    I've done this! Last year I joined a small Charity as their stand alone HR Manager. Initially I missed the large HR team, but I love my stand alone role now.

    In my organisation we have a Trustee with HR experience and I approach her for help with complex ER cases, compliance and or advice on anything else that I want a second opinion, so if you have someone at Board level, engage them. 

    Secondly, I network with HR professionals from all sectors & have often approached them for help and advice. CIPD Community is a good place to start.

    Be ready to work autonomously, carry out research, continue your CPD and informal ways of working; but it's worth it and you will learn a lot in a short space of time. 

    Wish you all the best!
