Guildford / London | Hybrid Working
At Person Centred Software, we're passionate about creating technology that makes a real difference in the social care sector. As we continue to grow both organically and through acquisition, we're looking for an experienced HR Manager to join our People team on a 6-9 month fixed-term contract to provide additional support during a busy and exciting period of change.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on HR professional who enjoys variety, thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about delivering an outstanding employee experience.
Reporting to our Chief People Officer, you'll play a key role in delivering operational HR support across the business while partnering with managers to provide practical, commercially focused advice. Working alongside our People team, you'll help ensure we continue to deliver an exceptional HR service across our UK and international teams during a period of growth and integration.
No two days will be the same. From supporting managers with employee relations to improving HR processes, coaching leaders and helping deliver key people initiatives, you'll be at the heart of our People function.
You'll be responsible for a broad range of HR activities across the employee lifecycle, including:
Partnering with managers to provide pragmatic HR advice and guidance
Supporting employee relations cases including disciplinary, grievance, capability and absence management
Coaching managers on performance management and people best practice
Managing onboarding, contractual changes, probation, absence management and offboarding
Supporting learning and development, employee engagement and retention initiatives
Coordinating monthly payroll with Finance and external providers
Maintaining HR systems and ensuring accurate employee records
Producing HR reporting and management information to support business decisions
Reviewing HR processes and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and employee experience
Ensuring compliance with employment legislation, GDPR and company policies
Supporting key people initiatives associated with business integration and organisational change.
We're looking for someone who is proactive, organised and enjoys building strong relationships across a business. You'll be equally comfortable advising managers, handling operational HR activity and rolling up your sleeves to get things done.
You'll ideally have:
CIPD Level 5 qualification (or equivalent experience)
Experience as an HR Manager, HR Business Partner or Senior HR Advisor
Strong employee relations experience across the full employee lifecycle
Excellent knowledge of UK employment law
Experience working within a fast-paced commercial environment
Strong HR systems skills and the ability to produce meaningful HR reporting
A continuous improvement mindset, always looking for ways to simplify and improve processes
Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder management skills
Experience supporting learning and development initiatives would be advantageous
Previous people management experience and exposure to international teams would also be beneficial.
Please note that this is a hybrid role with 2-3 days per week in our London office as well as occasional travel to Guildford.
At Person Centred Software, you'll join a collaborative and ambitious business where your work has a genuine impact. You'll become part of a supportive People team that is passionate about delivering great experiences for our employees while helping the business continue its exciting growth journey.
If you're an experienced HR professional looking for an opportunity to make an immediate impact in a dynamic technology business, we'd love to hear from you.
