HR Advisor

Job Introduction
Are you looking for an opportunity to use your HR Advisory experience within a well-regarded HR/OD Team in an award winning and top performing Local Authority?

Do you have the ability to manage a varied and broad caseload and enjoy providing professional support, advice and guidance to managers and external customers?

We are looking to appoint a part time HR Advisor, so could this be the opportunity for you?

We are passionate about driving forward the HR/OD Service to enable the delivery of high quality Council services in addition to providing commercially focused HR/OD services to external customers including Schools.

Priority work areas include providing advice on policies and procedures to managers and school leaders to ensure that they operate effective people management practices; as well as supporting the HR/OD service in delivering on its commercial and organisational priorities. You must be experienced, resilient and passionate about HR, demonstrating the values and ethos of the organisation in everything that you do, motivating yourself and the team to focus on providing a high standard of service. You must have the ability to calmly manage a varied and complex workload in a fast paced environment, and be able to champion the equality and diversity agenda. Experience or knowledge of undertaking HR work for schools would be beneficial along with working in a Local Government setting but it is not essential.

The team has excellent relationships with the Senior Management Team, Service Delivery Managers and external customers. Your ability to communicate with and establish your credibility with these stakeholders is crucial.

In return, you will receive support with your continued professional development, flexible working, hybrid working (working from home combined with time in the office), corporate benefits, free parking and a competitive pension scheme.
