Worthing West Sussex, United Kingdom Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are seeking to recruit two exceptional and highly motivated Senior HR Advisors, able to demonstrate significant experience of successfully managing a varied, complex, sensitive and demanding caseload, as part of a pro-active ER Team. You must have the ability to inspire confidence in the managers you support, as a key function of the role is to advise, coach and empower middle and senior managers to resolve employee relations matters effectively and independently, with a focus on early informal resolution. You will keep to clear timeframes and policy deadlines and manage risk by applying knowledge of best HR practice, latest case law and legislations.


Both posts are full-time [37.5 hrs per week], with core hours covering 9am to 5pm and will work to a hybrid model of working across sites and from home.


You will be CIPD qualified and must be able to demonstrate 'hands on' experience within a HR setting operating in a complex, unionised and challenging employment environment. This post supports our East Division which provides specialist community and inpatient mental health services for adults over the age of 18, living in East Sussex and with services situated across Eastbourne, Hasting and High Weald, Lewes and Havens. The post requires regular attendance onsite at least one day per week and attendance across sites and locations for formal face-to-face workforce hearings and management meetings.


This post provides HR support to our Corporate support functions within the Trust including Finance and Payroll, Digital, Business Planning and Project Management, Clinical and Corporate Governance and our Estates and Maintenance functions within the Trust. You will provide advice and guidance on all aspects of Employee Relations including change programmes, Tupe, complex disciplinary investigations, performance and attendance management, redundancy, redeployment, job evaluation, grievances, dignity at work and freedom to speak up cases, ensuring that problems are identified and resolved quickly, effectively and fairly and that throughout all processes there is comprehensive and effective communication with staff and their representatives.
This is a highly interactive position that requires a degree of autonomous working, whereby you will need to work collaboratively with another Senior HR Advisor and in partnership with union representatives that are assigned to the Division/Support Function. You will be professionally supported by an ER Manager and be responsible to the HR Business Partner. You will work within an experienced team of Senior HR Advisors, providing cross-cover and support to each other.


By joining our supportive and compassionate team, you will contribute to building a colleague experience that aligns with our ambition to provide outstanding quality, safe and effective care and treatment that we can be proud of and our value of People being at the heart of everything we do.


27 days leave (increasing with length of service) plus 8 bank holidays
~ Hybrid working model
~ Active wellbeing and inclusion networks
~ Occupational Health support, an Employee Assistance Programme, access to Wellbeing Apps
~ Excellent pension
~ NHS Car lease scheme
~ Access to a wide range of benefits and high street discounts offering NHS staff discounts in over 200+ stores including Holidays, Days out, Car insurance, Restaurants and Clothing.


In addition to the main duties you will attend formal employee relations meetings [face to face [onsite] and virtual] as appropriate and advise managers on documentation, ensuring consistency, accuracy and best practice. You will oversee and provide support on the effective management of Employment Tribunal claims, including being the first point of contact with the assigned legal team and supporting managers in the provision of key documentation and statements. A key role is to provide the HR Business Partner, ER Manager and Head of Employee Relations/HR Business Partnering with monthly employment relations data for key performance indicators. You will be required to interpret this information, identifying trends, levels of risks and specific 'hot spot' problem areas and to work with key stakeholders in identifying and implementing solutions.
