On-Demand HR Director

Big plans? Big challenges? Big expectations from your people?

Your business would benefit from a strategic HR Director who’s commercially sharp, human-focused, and not afraid to say what needs saying.

That’s where we come in as your Board-Level HR Partner.

At Streetwise HR, we offer on-demand, big-picture HR direction that fits around your business. Whether you’re scaling fast, facing change or navigating complex people issues, we bring director-level experience to the table - minus the corporate fluff.

For just £500/month, you can get access to a strategic HR Director for half a day each month, plus regular touchpoints to keep the plans in motion.

What are the benefits?

Strategic HR Leadership - We’re talking real experience here - decades of it. From workforce planning and culture change to restructures and boardroom wrangling, we help the business drive results.
Commercially-Minded Thinking - We get business. We understand the numbers. And we know HR only works if it supports strategy and performance, not just compliance.
Bold, Risk-Tolerant Advice - We don’t play it safe, if “safe” isn’t working. We’ll challenge assumptions, rethink the people plan, and help you find better ways forward - always with your goals in mind.
High-Level HR - Top-drawer HR direction for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. No salary, no desk space, just straight-talking expertise when and where you need it.
Tailored to Fit You - No cookie-cutter “solutions” here. Whether you need short-term input, support through change or ongoing senior partnership - we build our service around your needs.

Why Streetwise HR?

By outsourcing your HR, you can be guaranteed that you will be working with HR experts. Recruiting an in-house HR team could mean that, in order to be more cost-effective, you compromise on experience and expertise.

At Streetwise, we bring proven, pragmatic leadership to the table. We've spent years delivering results across a range of industries, and we bring that real-world experience straight into your boardroom.

We tell it like it is. You won’t get corporate waffle or watered-down advice. Just honest insight, practical solutions, and a clear plan of action to get things moving in the right direction.

Our service is built to flex around you. Need support for a one-off transformation project? No problem. Prefer to keep us in your corner month to month? We’re in. It’s about what works best for your business.

And when it comes to cost, we offer outstanding value. For just £500 a month, you gain access to director-level HR strategy - without the overheads of a full-time hire.

Straight-talking, high-impact support, when and where you need it.
