• Supporting managers with employee relations matters, including performance, absence, disciplinary and grievance processes
• Developing and implementing HR policies, procedures and best practice
• Driving employee engagement and wellbeing initiatives
• Supporting the delivery of a culture of continuous learning and professional development
• Ensuring compliance with employment legislation and sector-specific regulatory requirements
• Producing workforce data and reports to support informed decision-making and organisational planning
• Identifying trends in turnover, absence and workforce performance and developing proactive solutions
• Supporting organisational change and continuous improvement initiatives

About You

You are an experienced HR professional who combines strong technical expertise with a genuine passion for people.

You enjoy building positive relationships, supporting managers to succeed, and creating practical HR solutions that help organisations thrive.

You will bring:

• CIPD membership or equivalent qualification and experience
• Demonstrable and extensive HR experience in a generalist role
• Strong knowledge of current employment legislation and HR best practice
• Experience across recruitment, employee relations, performance management and absence management
• The ability to influence, coach and support managers with confidence
• Excellent communication, interpersonal and report-writing skills
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities
• A proactive, solution-focused and collaborative approach
• Experience within the third sector, social care or a regulated environment is desirable but not essential.
• Most importantly, you will share our values and commitment to creating an environment where people feel supported, valued and empowered to do their best work.
