Head of HR

4 months ago


United Kingdom local.gov.uk Full time

Fixed Term for 12 months, secondment opportunity.

London/office based (Hybrid working – minimum 2 days in London). Homeworking will be considered (salary reduced by London weighting) but regular London attendance based on business need will be required.

About us

The Local Government Association (LGA) is the national membership body for local authorities. We work on behalf of our member councils to support, promote and improve local government.

We are a politically led, cross-party organisation that works on behalf of councils to ensure local government has a strong, credible voice with national government. We influence and set the political agenda on the issues that matter to councils to help them deliver local solutions to national problems. We also provide councils with the tools and resources to respond to challenges present and emerging, and support improvement across the sector.

There is a lot of external change also on the horizon: the political environment and the outcome of the general election, as well as changing priorities, areas of risk and opportunities for our members. As we embark on an exciting journey of transformation we need to create capacity at a senior HR level.

About the role

This is a key senior management role which will, initially, report to our existing Head of HR & Payroll who will be working on some specific people projects (our Agile Future programme). You will bring senior HR capacity, overseeing the HR & Payroll function – including Payroll, HR Operations (HR admin, recruitment, data and systems) and HR Strategic Delivery (ER, Well-being, EDI and learning & development).

Alongside the daily operations of the HR function you will work closely with the existing Head of HR & Payroll to understand how any project outcomes translate into operational delivery within the HR & Payroll team. Please note - this role oversees HR & Payroll activity for the LGA and a number of associated organisations.

We are open to this being a development opportunity for someone with the right experience and are happy to consider it as a secondment from a local authority or other similar organisation.

About you

You will be a seasoned, credible and qualified HR professional with some knowledge of managing a payroll function. Alongside your wide-ranging HR experience the ideal candidate will bring experience of culture change and reward in order to support delivery of our project work. You will be able to quickly gain the trust and respect of your direct reports, the wider HR & payroll team, as well as colleagues across the organisation, in order to work at pace and ensure effective delivery of the HR & Payroll service. Experience of working in a political environment is a must.

To apply

If you would like to be considered for the role, please complete the online form and include a supporting statement detailing how you meet the criteria of the role before the closing date. We use anonymous recruitment, which is the practice of hiding candidates’ identities.

Closing Date: 5pm, 9 June 2024
Interview Date: To be confirmed

At the LGA we celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Our recruitment decisions are based on fair, open competition, with appointment on merit. The LGA are proud to be awarded a “Disability Confident Leader”. If you are require an reasonable adjustment, which is a change to the format or conditions of the recruitment process to accommodate any disability-related needs you may have. Please contact us via Recruitment@local.gov.uk

You must have the right to work in the UK, the LGA are unfortunately unable to offer sponsorship visas. Evidence for the right to work in the UK will be requested at the interview stage.

Our benefits

  • LGA annual leave entitlement is 29 days, rising to 31 days after three years’ service and to 33 days after five years’ service, plus all UK public holidays (pro rata for fixed term and part time contracts).*
  • Flexible & agile working – office-based staff are required to work in the LGA’s London office two days per week as a minimum, subject to business need and this may vary significantly between different roles and from week to week.
  • Future development – face-to-face and virtual courses are scheduled in line with developmental goals
  • The LGA offers 24/7 access to a free, confidential employee assistance programme managed by Health Assured. This service is also available for Dependants.
  • Family friendly policies
