**Who we are**

Selwood Housing Group is a not-for-profit housing association committed to providing affordable local homes for our customers. We have nearly 7,000 homes for affordable rent and shared ownership in Wiltshire, Somerset and Bath and North-East Somerset and employ over 300 staff from our offices in Trowbridge and Melksham.

**The role**:
We’re excited to welcome a passionate and experienced **HR Adviser** to our team. If you're after a role where you can make a tangible difference across the business, and love engaging with people, this opportunity will provide all that, and more.

Joining our highly experienced HR team, you’ll provide invaluable advice and support to both employees and management, all the while ensuring we stay on top of employment laws and best practices.

This role will have an emphasis on employee relations and as such, strong experience in that area is particularly desirable. However, you'll also get to flex your skills as a generalist, handling a diverse range of HR functions such as performance management and policy development, as well as spearheading change initiatives. You'll collaborate with colleagues across the business on people-related projects, continuously reviewing and improving our HR metrics to drive better outcomes.

**To make a real impact, you’ll need to have;**
- Minimum CIPD qualification level 3 or above
- Previous experience as a HR adviser or similar role, with a deep understanding of HR principles and practices
- Strong experience in Employee Relations
- Knowledge of employment policies and case law
- Experience and confidence to advise and influence others
- An organised approach with strong attention to detail
- Experience using people metrics
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships at all levels of the organisation.
- A focus on continuous improvement

We are committed to personal development and provide ample training, support and resources for you to continue growing as an HR adviser. We also value work/life balance, so you will get the flexibility to work remotely. The HR team is in the office a minimum of one day a week, although this can vary depending on demand, and during the odd exceptionally busy week you may be on-site anywhere from 3 - 5 days.

If you are looking for a new challenge in a supportive and welcoming environment, we’d love to hear from you.

**What we offer**

Our main benefits include;
- 27 holiday plus bank holidays
- 2 paid gifted days; one for your birthday and one over Christmas
- Buy/sell up to 1 week’s holiday
- Life assurance
- Flexible working opportunities - giving you flexibility on how long, where and when you work to support better customer service and promote a work/life balance.
- Competitive pension (you pay 4%, we pay 4% or choose to opt into our enhanced pension scheme, where you pay 4%, we pay 9%)
- Cycle to work scheme

We’re keen to build a supportive and rewarding environment, free from discrimination, that works for everyone.
