About Us

It's an exciting time to join our HR Business Partnering team, as we have recently made some changes to the way we work to enable our team to deliver the best service to the University as well as providing opportunities to develop and grow within the team.

At King's, Business Partners are the front face of HR, responsible for working with the Directorates and Faculties to align our vision and our people. Working with dedicated client groups, they act as a trusted partner, providing strategic advice, support and guidance on a full range of people matters.

About the Role

In our new structure, the newly-created Associate HR Business Partner roles will support our Senior HRBPs, playing a key role in providing HR support to a range of stakeholders across their client groups.

As an Associate HRBP, you'll be responsible for leading on employee relations casework for your client groups, providing advice and guidance to managers on a range of formal and informal ER matters. You will need a strong understanding of employment law and best practice as well as the ability to assess risk and act commercially in advising on these matters.

Alongside managing ER matters, you'll work alongside the Senior HRBPs to implement local and university-wide people initiatives, provide advice and guidance on HR matters to stakeholders and support on cross team initiatives and projects. This role will allow you to get involved in many different people projects, and is a great development opportunity for anyone looking to enhance their skills and knowledge within a friendly and supportive team.

There are five full time posts available (35 Hours per week). Four roles will be offered on an indefinite basis, and one role is fixed-term to cover maternity leave until March 2025.

The roles are hybrid and role holders will be expected to attend the office in Lavington Street (Southwark) as well as travelling to other King's campuses in line with business needs.
