Preston, United Kingdom Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you seeking to further develop your HR career in a fast-paced environment? Whether you are an experienced HR Advisor or a recent CIPD graduate ready for an advisory role, we would love to hear from you.

As an award-winning teaching hospital, with a range of acute and specialist services, our workforce is diverse and aspires to achieve great things for our patients. Due to the size of the organisation and the variety of the services provided you will have the opportunity build your experience and have an impact on the services you support.

Our Workforce Advisors are focused on providing specialist employee relations advice, coaching managers and developing policies.

We support colleagues to work agilely, and many of the team split the week between working on site and working from home.

If this sounds like the role for you, please get in touch.

No two days will be the same in this role. You will be providing advice about sickness absence management, disciplinary and grievance processes and best practice in managing people and teams. This could be over the phone, in online meetings, or face to face.
