About EVH

EVH – Supporting Social Employers (EVH) is an Employers Federation founded in 1978 and governed by a dedicated voluntary board. We provide bespoke HR, Recruitment and Events services to our members, through our dedicated team. Initially rooted in social housing organisations, EVH has since expanded its support to not-for-profit organisations across Scotland. Today we support governing bodies and managers in more than 135 employer members, who employ over 5000 staff between them.

HR Policy & Process
You will develop and implement template HR policies & procedures and create bespoke materials with essential information, guidance and best practice.

HR Consultancy Services
You will lead on a wide variety of consultancy services to member organisations such as support and advice with restructure, policy reviews, short life working groups, and job evaluations to name just a few.

From time to time, when supporting governing body members, we need to adapt to their availability, which can be out with normal office hours.

What you will need to succeed

• A relevant higher education qualification combined with recent practical experience of managing complex employee relations cases.
• Practical HR knowledge and skills with the ability to apply these to a variety of different situations.
• Experience in developing and implementing HR policies and procedures with a working knowledge of employment legislation.
