Job Description

Our client is a well-respected national charity who provide an outstanding level of service within the care sector. They are looking to recruit a HR Business Partner to support their North and Scotland divisions on a 12-month fixed term contract. The purpose of this role is to support the operational managers across their multi-site locations in providing an excellent HR advisory service, including the confident management of a busy ER caseload, and delivering occasional management training/coaching. This position will suit a people orientated HR professional who is highly organised, and proactive, with a caring, values-driven approach. You will work alongside two other HR Business Partners and report into the Head of HR/HR Director.

Please note: This role is primarily a remote working home-based role, so whilst you will be supporting multi-sites across a designated region, there is very little travel expectation. The head office is based in Thame, therefore travel once a month to Thame to attend HR wide meetings would be required. As such, the successful candidate will live within a 2-hour commute distance from Thame, Oxfordshire. The start date will be late November, therefore only candidates with 1 month notice (or less ideally) can be considered.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide consultancy on HR and employee related issues, obtaining a sound understanding of operational needs and responding with professional advice and solutions.
  • Coach managers to build capability, encouraging them to think through issues and giving them confidence and knowledge to handle difficult and sensitive matters whilst ensuring they fully understand the risk/implications.
  • Work with managers to identify and eliminate root causes of absence and poor performance and manage potential problems before they become serious.
  • Proactively work with Divisions to manage absence and turnover.
  • Facilitate and manage the ‘people aspects’ of change initiatives e.g. TUPE transfers, restructures, changes in terms and conditions, etc; providing expertise and supporting the development and delivery of appropriate communications and consultation forums.
  • Develop and update policies to reflect current legislation, best practice and operational requirements.
  • Manage, drive and implement specific HR initiatives.
  • Proactively support the implementation of new policies and procedures.
  • Run and support the implementation of key training programmes on recruitment, employee relations, absence, performance management etc.
  • Analyse data, identifying trends and patterns to establish potential issues and opportunities and proactively work with Divisions to address concerns.

Skills and Experience:

  • Previous experience in a HRBP role (or similar) is essential.
  • Experience in working in a dynamic, multi-site environment where the workforce largely works on rotas, varying shift patterns is essential, with previous experience working in the Social Care Sector being highly desirable.
  • Ideally CIPD qualified to Level 5, or equally qualified by experience.
  • Confident advising on complex employee relations issues, and autonomously managing a busy caseload is essential.
  • Experience supporting TUPE, providing timely and professional advice in line with current employment legislation.
  • Good working knowledge of employment law and best practice employee relations management, including ACAS Codes of Practice.
  • Proactive and pragmatic in approach with excellent people skills.
