**Terms of Reference**
**HR Consultant**
**Term: 18 months**
**Reporting to: Chief Operating Officer, matrixed to Director of International Operations**
**Context**:
In 2020 Oxfam Great Britain (OGB) restructured across the whole organisation. At that time, the HR Teams for corporate and retail combined to become one team, and the International HR team moved to become part of the International Operations team which provides business support to countries where Oxfam works. Generally capacities across the organisation were reduced as there was a requirement for cost efficiencies at that time.
Since the restructure the teams have been working very hard to establish themselves in the new organisational structures. Whilst the teams have delivered some great work, they have been hampered by a significant amount of additional demands that have arisen from both the external environment; furlough, lockdowns affecting our shops operations, continued financial challenges, post Covid hiring context and internally; recruitment & retention issues, some continuing embedded ways of working, ongoing organisational changes, significant strategic and culture change activity underway and low morale across all teams organisationally resulting in increased employee relations matters.
We have increased capacity and resource across both teams in an effort to provide stronger support and partnership to the organisation, however there remain issues and concerns across both teams who continue to be very stretched and as a result not yet fully meeting organisational expectations.
At the same time, the wider Oxfam confederation is undergoing further transformational activity in a piece of work that will bring together the teams who provide operational business support to all Oxfam countries across the organisation - this is currently delivered by four different Oxfam organisations. The intention is to harmonise work and practice across all business support teams to create a One Oxfam approach for all countries, and restructure to enable a shift of this work to align with line management ultimately reporting into Oxfam International (OI) in Kenya.
We wish to bring in additional strategic HR resource to conduct a review of HR operations across both Corporate and International HR teams resulting in recommendations to support our operations now, and to work with the teams to contribute strategic HR support to the plans for future organisational transformation.
The role will be a consultant to the COO and International Operations Director whilst being a mentor to the senior HR leadership.
**The Role**:
Core Objectives:
- Conduct a review of HR capability, capacity & structures across both corporate and international teams with the aim to produce recommendations to enable more effective ways of working. Once complete this role will support the organisation with implementation of the recommendations.
- Provide organisational development support to OGB and OI colleagues in the HR workstream working on business transformation. Both those working on overall design of the new combined structure and those working on the implications of TBS for OGB's structure and role in the future. This will contribute to effective delivery of business operations for the confederation, alongside a clear vision for the future operating modal for Oxfam Great Britain.
- Provide mentoring and coaching support to the HR leaders across the structure.
**Skills & Experience required**:
- Significant demonstrable foundational and progressive Global HR experience at a senior level
- Strong, feminist leader who is naturally inclusive by nature and identifies strongly with Oxfam values and strategic aims to enable a safe, anti-racist, feminist and inclusive organisation.
- Experience of working across all HR disciplines including, organisational development, HR operations and reward
- Experience in leading & delivery of transformational change through others whilst championing employee engagement
- Ability to operate in a complex, multi faceted, geographically dispersed organisation within an international context, preferably with experience in regions of the world similar to or where Oxfam is working.
- Significant experience of working across different cultures.
- Strong influencing skills and collaborative approach - works across teams and functions to build shared solutions to deliver organisation goals.
- Agility - finds ways to make things happen whilst not losing focus on the future landscape.
- Courageous - prepared to challenge thinking and beliefs and offer new ideas and approaches to realise our ambitions.
- Self aware and demonstrates humility and resilience
**Our values and commitment to safeguarding**:
**Oxfam is committed to preventing any type of unwanted behaviour at work including sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse, lack of integrity and financial misconduct; and committed to promoting the welfare of children, young people, adults and b
