Job Description:

We are recruiting a HR Advisor to work with the HR Manager to support the HR service in all aspects of the employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding to retention and exit processes.

This is a generalist role, so there is a lot of variety in the work. You will provide advice and support to managers on application of policies and procedures, grievances, disciplinaries, absence management, and performance issues. You will attract and recruit staff, ensuring their recruitment meets safe recruitment guidelines, organise training and support onboarding, support the maintenance of the online training system and records, undertake HR audits to ensure compliance with contractual requirements, organisational policies, and legislation. You will maintain employee records, contracts, and HR systems accurately and support payroll processing through the collation of departmental information. You will support the implementation of policies and procedures to ensure they are up to date with legislation and aligned with the organisation.

You will be level 5 CIPD qualified, or working towards it, with experience in HR, including working with and maintaining HR and payroll databases. You have good communication skills to give practical advice to managers and the confidence to be the first point of contact with enquiries. You can build excellent relationships with people both internally and externally. You are highly organised and have good time management. You have strong attention to detail and are able to deal with confidential matters sensitively and professionally. You can work independently and as part of a team. You will have some knowledge of the health and social care sector.

You are flexible and motivated to help the charity achieve its aims: supporting many local individuals and families to make the most of life, learning and enjoying new skills and independence. You have an inclusive and welcoming approach.

You will be joining a committed team. Ideally, you will work full time in the office, but we will consider 30 hours per week for the right candidate. You will receive a good induction with training and support from your manager and lots of opportunity to get involved in a variety of HR work.

The role will require an enhanced DBS clearance.

Closing date for applications is Monday 14th April 2025, but we may close the vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications, so please do not delay if you are thinking about making your application.
