Be part of an HR function transforming from the ground up

You'll join a supportive and trusted HR team with strong operational relationships already in place, but with a clear mandate to elevate how HR shows up, delivers value, and influences change. If you're energised by improvement, modernisation and building credibility, this is the perfect moment to step in.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a HR Advisor who can bring confident, relatable HR support across a wide range of activity, including:

• Managing day-to-day ER cases (sickness, performance, disciplinaries, grievances)
• Holding monthly case review meetings with managers
• Supporting projects: role profiling, harmonisation, organisational change
• Shaping a new consultation & change "playbook"
• Getting involved in restructures, consultations, and occasional TUPE processes
• Building strong on-site relationships across multiple locations
• Coaching managers to feel confident with people challenges

This role offers a great blend of BAU and project work, allowing you to grow in the direction that suits your strengths.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing a busy caseload while giving timely, balanced advice to managers
• Being a visible, credible HR presence, around three days a week between sites and the office
• Coaching managers to build confidence in handling people matters
• Supporting organisational change (redundancy, reorganisation and TUPE where needed)
• Playing a key role in HR project delivery and process improvement
• Using data and spreadsheets effectively to track activity and support decision-making
• Helping modernise and simplify HR policies (with support from an external partner)
• Standardising approaches to consultation, acquisition, closure and sale activities
• Navigating a unionised environment with confidence and empathy

About You

We'd love to speak to HR Advisors who are:

• Confident, credible and comfortable constructively challenging where needed
• Experienced in ER case management across a range of issues
• Great relationship builders with strong influencing skills
• Positive, proactive and solutions-driven
• Able to manage autonomy and structure your own diary
• Resilient and comfortable in a people-centric, emotionally intelligent environment
• Familiar with (or keen to gain experience in) change, consultation and TUPE
• Drivers who are happy to travel regularly across multiple sites

Why Join?

• A pivotal moment in the organisation's transformation
• A healthy mix of operational work, project exposure and meaningful change activity
• The chance to directly influence and uplift HR's reputation and ways of working
• Supportive, forward-thinking HR leadership
• Purpose-driven work supporting care homes and operational teams
