Witney, United Kingdom Howden Consumer & Local Commercial Full time

From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture - one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success.

People come to Howden for lots of different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. That’s what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain the best talent in the market. Whatever your priorities - work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering - you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

With a no limits approach, we can rise to any challenge. Whatever the question, the concern, or the risk, we can get the right people in a room and find the right answer. Our collective power is also helping us to change the insurance narrative - doing right by our clients while using insurance as a tool to build resilience for individuals, businesses and communities. From pro bono work to insuring COVID-19 vaccine development to de-risking the carbon market, we’re using our skills, knowledge, and networks to make a difference and speed positive change in the world around us.

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic individual to provide dedicated HR support within the Consumer & Local Commercial division of the wider Howden Retail business on a 6month fixed term contract. You'll work closely with the Lead HR Business Partner as well as other localised HR representatives, acting as the first line of defence for HR issues and generalist queries. You will also work collaboratively with HR Employee Services and Group HR Centres of Excellence (incl. Talent Acquisition, HRIS & Reward).

As a key contributor, you will thrive in our dynamic and fast-paced environment, you'll embrace the complexity and commerciality that accompanies business growth plans. This role involves navigating ambiguity, turning it into opportunity, and working collaboratively with the broader HR Team to shape the operational landscape of our newly established Retail business.

**About you**:

- Act as the first point of contact for all general queries and handle Employee Relations issues, with the Lead HR Business Partner as the escalation point. Ensuring the relevant MI tracker or system is updated and your Lead HR Business Partner is aware of any trends
- Coach, support and upskill first line leaders in order to develop employee relations and manager capability

- Validates data and Workday records, ensuring job titles, teams, cost centres are correct and relevant notifications are sent to the appropriate business stakeholders
- Ensures correct authorisation is obtained and processes followed when required by the Operating Entity and/or Group
- Ensures performance, HR and T&C records are up to date and meet the Operating Entity and/or Group’s requirements
