Taunton, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time

There has never been a more exciting time to work in People Services in the NHS and particularly in Somerset as our two ambitious, innovative and people focussed organisations; Somerset Foundation Trust and Yeovil Hospital are on a journey to become one in 2023. The HR Advisory team are embarking on our integration to deliver services for our colleagues across Somerset and this role provides an exciting opportunity to be part of this transformational work.

As part of People Services you will be crucial to our ongoing work to develop an inclusive environment where principles of a restorative, just and learning culture are central to how we manage our HR/people processes. As an ambassador for People services you will champion a people before process approach and your excellent communication, coaching and collaboration skills will equip you to guide managers to compassionate decisions and outcomes.

You'll need to be CIPD L5 qualified or working towards this, with proven experience of working in a similar role, NHS experience is not essential. What is really important is that you are someone who naturally adopts a coaching style to navigate through a range of people matters, encouraging ownership and supporting learning, reflection and change in those that you work alongside.

As an organisation, the NHS offers a wide range of benefits including flexible working, pension contributions, market leading annual leave allowance, continuing professional development and regular informal conversations around career progression, annual recognition awards to celebrate and recognise our colleagues achievements throughout the year and not to mention our Blue Light Card and NHS exclusive discounts.

We work hard to make sure that inclusion is part of everything we do. We know that true inclusion means we’re able to provide the best care for our patients and provide a fulfilling career for all our colleagues.

The benefits of working in Somerset include the idyllic countryside, with our areas of outstanding beauty and stunning coastlines. You will get to enjoy these perks whilst still only being a stone’s throw away from bustling city centres like Bristol, Bath and Exeter and only two hours away from London - there is truly something for everyone

There are excellent educational facilities in the area and, when compared to other regions, house prices are reasonable.

We have six active and impactful colleague networks. These networks provide a safe space for colleagues to share their experiences and learn from one another, but also influence change across our trust:

- Multicultural Network
- Women’s Network
- Armed Forces’ Network
- LGBTQ+ Network
- Lived Experience Network, for colleagues living with disabilities
- Autistic Colleague Network
- Manage and implement organisational change including all aspects of the formal process.
- Play an active role in the support and delivery of just and learning culture and HR Training across the organisation, including on an ad-hoc 1-2-1 basis.
