HR Advisor

HR Advisor opportunity at The HR Dept. Cambridge & North Herts.

If you're looking for a new challenge in your HR career and want the chance to develop your skills we may be just what you are looking for.

The HR Dept Cambridge and North Herts is seeking an HR Advisor to join our team and to help us with our expansion plans to grow into the number one recognised outsource HR provider in our very busy area.

However, this role comes with a caution and will not suit everyone.

This role is different from being an HR Advisor for a single organisation. You are, in effect, an HR Advisor for lots of different organisations covering many different sectors, all at the same time. This means you'll be advising on a diverse range of HR issues. You need to be well organised and have the ability to deal with multiple clients in different industries. One minute you might be advising on an issue in a manufacturing company, the next you could be dealing with a CEO of a Charity or out on site leading on a disciplinary.

This is HR outsourcing, so all of our clients have different contracts, different holiday entitlement and different sick pay arrangements. It's not only the employment terms that are different but also the workplace culture and the personalities that you're supporting.

Every day is different, and sometimes you may feel like you have experienced a careers worth of HR challenges in one week.

Our business is built on the strength of our relationships. While expected to work with all our clients, you will also be allocated your own clients and will provide everything for them from offer letters and bespoke contracts, holiday calculations and HR Advice. Sometimes you will be required to work on site to deliver on projects or to conduct formal meetings.

This is the key part of the role and we will look to allocate you clients to lead on so that you can nurture a close working relationship with them and gain satisfaction from being an extended part of their team.

Be handling enquiries and liaising with potential/current clients, contacts and our wider HR Dept network.

Keeping our CRM system up to date with advice given.

Be an ambassador for The HR Dept Cambridge and North Herts through building great relationships in the region. This may involve attending appropriate networking meetings and attendance at events. These could be occasionally outside of your normal hours.
