The UK Part-Time CHRO Market

The part-time CHRO model (also known as fractional CHRO) has become increasingly popular as companies recognise they can access senior HR leadership without the full-time cost. This creates opportunities for experienced HR professionals to build portfolio careers.

Unlike interim CHRO roles which are full-time for a fixed period, part-time CHRO positions offer ongoing engagement typically 1-3 days per week. Many fractional CHROs work with multiple clients simultaneously.

Who Hires Part-Time CHROs?

  • SMEs - Companies building their people function
  • Startups - Companies establishing HR foundations
  • Scale-ups - Fast-growing companies scaling their teams
  • PE portfolio companies - Businesses needing HR transformation
  • Family businesses - Professionalising HR operations

Common Questions About Part-Time CHRO Jobs UK

A part-time CHRO (also called fractional CHRO) is a Chief Human Resources Officer who works with companies 1-3 days per week on an ongoing basis. This model provides senior HR leadership without the full-time commitment or cost.
Part-time CHRO day rates in the UK typically range from £800-£1,200 per day. For a 2-day per week engagement, annual costs are £80,000-£120,000 - significantly less than a full-time CHRO package.
Most part-time CHRO roles involve 1-3 days per week, with 2 days being common. Many CHROs work with multiple clients to build a portfolio career.
The terms are often used interchangeably. 'Part-time CHRO' emphasizes the reduced hours, while 'fractional CHRO' emphasizes the shared/portfolio nature. Both refer to senior HR leaders working less than full-time.
SMEs, startups, scale-ups, and PE portfolio companies commonly hire part-time CHROs. They get experienced HR leadership at a fraction of full-time cost - ideal for companies building their people function.
