Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing expert, practical advice and support to managers across a range of People issues
• Managing and advising on employee relations cases, including more complex and sensitive situations
• Coaching managers to build their confidence and capability in managing people effectively
• Building strong relationships across the organisation and becoming a trusted People partner
• Driving continuous improvement across People processes, systems and ways of working
• Taking ownership of allocated strategic People projects and organisational priorities

• Experience of improving People processes and ways of working
• An understanding of data protection, confidentiality and sensitive employee information
• The ability to manage competing priorities and deliver strategic People projects
• CIPD qualification or equivalent experience

Experience of working within a charity, public sector, social care, healthcare or similarly complex environment would be highly valuable.

Most importantly, you’ll be comfortable working within a safeguarding-focused organisation and have the judgement, professionalism and emotional intelligence required to deal appropriately with sensitive and complex employee matters.

Why this role?

This is an opportunity to join an organisation where the People function genuinely matters.

You’ll have the opportunity to make a tangible difference - supporting managers, improving the employee experience, strengthening People processes and contributing to wider organisational priorities.
