Job description

MacIntyre is a national UK charity. We've spent 60 years supporting children, young people and adults with a learning disability or who are autistic to live full, connected lives. None of that happens without a People Team that gets the fundamentals right. That's where you come in.

As the dedicated HR Advisor for one of our business areas, you'll be the person managers turn to when things get complicated: disciplinaries, grievances, absence, capability, flexible working, family leave. You'll coach and advise rather than just process, helping managers to make decisions that are fair, legally sound and genuinely support their teams.

What you'll bring:

• At least three years' HR Advisory experience with a strong Employee Relations focus
• Solid UK employment law knowledge and the confidence to apply it in real situations
• The ability to build trust with managers at all levels and give advice they'll actually act on
• CIPD Level 5 or equivalent experience

Experience in social care, education or another values-led organisation is a plus, but not essential.

£37,329, six weeks' holiday, health cash plan, life assurance and genuine investment in your development, plus the chance to see your advice make a difference to people's working lives, not just paperwork.
