We are recruiting within a Higher Education organisation in London to recruit an experienced HR Advisor for an initial 4-month assignment.
This is an exciting time to join the organisation as it goes through a period of significant change and transformation. We're looking for someone with a positive, solutions-focused attitude who is agile, adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change.
You'll work closely with managers and HR colleagues, providing pragmatic HR advice across a broad generalist remit. The role will include employee relations, absence, performance management, recruitment and wider HR projects/change activity.
Key areas will include:
- Providing confident, practical advice to managers
- Supporting ER casework including disciplinary, grievance and capability
- Advising on absence and performance management
- Supporting recruitment and the wider employee lifecycle
- Contributing to HR projects and change initiatives
- Building strong relationships with stakeholders across the organisation
- Managing competing priorities in a busy, evolving environment
- Has solid HR Advisor/generalist experience, ideally gained within a large or complex organisation
- Has hands-on experience of ER, change and performance management
- Is positive, resilient and solutions-focused
- Can be agile and adaptable as priorities evolve
- Is comfortable managing challenging situations and advising a range of stakeholders
- Can hit the ground running and work both independently and collaboratively
- Has experience of a unionised or Higher Education environment, which would be advantageous rather than essential
This is a great opportunity for an HR professional who genuinely enjoys change, variety and working at pace, and wants to make an impact during an important period for the organisation.
