Are you an experienced and enthusiastic People Advisor looking to make a real difference in a supportive, values-driven organisation? We'd love to hear from you!

We're looking for a People Advisor to join a friendly but busy team. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in supporting colleagues across the organisation by providing expert HR guidance and practical solutions. This position requires someone with a commercial outlook to really support the business in creative decisions.

About the Role

As People Advisor, you'll be a trusted partner to managers across the organisation - from clinical and trading teams to support functions - providing specialist HR advice and support to help create a positive, engaging and compliant workplace.

You'll be responsible for:

• Coaching, mentoring, and challenging managers in the effective application of HR policies and practices.
• Leading end-to-end recruitment across all areas, ensuring you attract, recruit, and retain the right talent to meet business needs.
• Provide advice and support across a wide range of HR issues, including absence management, grievances, disciplinary and performance matters.
• Conduct and support formal meetings across ER related areas
• Draft correspondence related to formal HR processes using templates or tailored content as needed.
• Ensure compliance with employment legislation and best practice to reduce risk to the organisation.
• Review and update HR policies and procedures in line with legal changes and internal needs.
• Support managers in creating and reviewing job descriptions, and contributing to the job evaluation process.
• Monitoring sickness trends and facilitating effective absence management
• Lead on wellbeing initiatives
• Maintaining accurate records for reporting and KPI purposes.
• Conduct exit interviews to gather useful organisational feedback.
• Keeping up to date with employment law and HR best practice through continuous professional development.

About You

To be successful in this role, you'll need:

• CIPD Level 5 qualification (or equivalent)
• Previous experience providing HR support and guidance across a wide range of issues
• Strong working knowledge of current employment law and HR best practice
• Excellent interpersonal and coaching skills, with confidence in supporting and influencing managers
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the ability to manage competing priorities
• Confidence in managing HR data and reporting

If you are looking to join a small, supportive HR team where your input is valued, where your skills can grow, and your work has a real impact then this could be an excellent opportunity for you.
