You'll be joining a values‑led social care organisation with multiple sites across the North West, and you'll play a key part in strengthening people practices during a period of positive growth.

Working as part of a friendly and collaborative People team, you'll partner with managers across the region, offering practical HR support, coaching and guidance. No two days look the same — and you'll have the chance to get involved in both operational and project‑based work.

• Owning and progressing a varied ER caseload, ensuring matters are handled fairly and consistently
• Supporting recruitment activity and ensuring new starters have a smooth onboarding experience
• Contributing to engagement initiatives and wider People projects alongside senior HR colleagues
• Reviewing and refreshing policies to keep them relevant and compliant
• Delivering HR training sessions to managers and teams
• Producing meaningful people data and MI to support decision‑making and monthly manager reviews
• Helping embed and enhance HR systems, ensuring teams are confident and reporting tools are used effectively

What You'll Bring

• Experience in a People/HR Advisor role
• CIPD Level 3 (essential), ideally working towards Level 5
• Solid ER experience, managing cases independently from start to finish
• A good understanding of employment law and HR best practice
• Experience across recruitment, onboarding and retention
• Strong IT capability, including HR systems and data reporting
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence and support managers
• Resilience, good judgement and the ability to work calmly under pressure
• Experience in social care, healthcare or another regulated environment (helpful but not essential)

Why Apply?

You'll be joining an organisation that genuinely values its people and offers a supportive, flexible working culture. Benefits include:

• Hybrid and flexible working
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Enhanced pension and sick pay
• Life assurance
• Healthcare cash plan
• Wellbeing support
• A positive, purpose‑driven working environment
