About the Role

If you have solid experience in employee relations and enjoy supporting managers through the everyday challenges of people management, this fixed-term role offers an opportunity to make a real impact.

At St Monica Trust, we're looking for a confident and capable HR Advisor to join our established HR team, focusing on casework such as absence management, grievances, disciplinaries, and performance issues. Your calm, informed guidance will help our managers handle situations fairly and consistently.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be a trusted point of contact for HR advice, offering practical and empathetic support to managers across our care, housing, and support services.

• Lead on a range of employee relations casework, ensuring timely and fair outcomes.
• Guide and coach managers to handle people matters with clarity and confidence.
• Support investigations and formal processes, including note-taking where needed.
• Advise on HR policies, procedures, and employment law in a clear and accessible way.
• Help maintain an inclusive, values-led culture across the Trust.

This is a focused opportunity for someone who enjoys ER work and wants to contribute meaningfully without distractions.

What You'll Get in Return

Joining St Monica Trust means becoming part of a values-led organization where people are at the heart of everything we do. Benefits include:

• A supportive, inclusive workplace that values your expertise.
• Autonomy and trust to deliver your work well, with the team around you when needed.
• Flexible working arrangements (including reduced hours).
• The opportunity to make a difference in a purpose-driven organization.
• A chance to positively impact the lives of older people.

What You'll Bring

You should have the knowledge, experience, and confidence to start making a difference quickly, with support to familiarize yourself with our systems and ways of working. You will bring:

• A proven track record in a generalist HR advisory role.
• Strong background in employee relations casework.
• Solid understanding of UK employment law and its practical application.
• Experience supporting and coaching managers at all levels.
• A calm, people-focused approach and a collaborative mindset.
• CIPD Level 3 (or above) qualification or equivalent experience.

Experience in a care or regulated environment is welcome but not essential.

Why This Role Is for You

You bring balanced judgment, empathy, and confidence, and enjoy helping others navigate people management challenges. You understand the importance of accurate HR input in daily work life and want to use your experience where it is most needed, in a team that values integrity, trust, and inclusion.
