About A2Dominion
We are a UK housing association committed to a new vision – providing homes people love to live in.

Role Overview
Strengthen the People Support team's capability to deliver consistent, high-quality advice to managers, bridging the gap between transactional support and People Adviser services. Design and implement scalable guidance, knowledge frameworks and self-service tools to enable the team to confidently handle more complex (non-ER) queries and support informed manager decision-making.
Drawing on significant experience providing Tier 1 and Tier 2 HR advice, the postholder will translate policies, procedures and employment legislation into practical guidance, knowledge resources and self-service solutions that improve manager capability and support consistent advice delivery.
This role is critical in evolving the People Support function into a more advisory, insight-led service, improving the manager experience while reducing unnecessary escalation to the Business Partnering team through increased first and second-line resolution capability.
Key responsibilities
-
Strengthen the People Support team’s capability to deliver consistent, high-quality advice, acting as an escalation point for complex queries and supporting a clear advice model with defined service boundaries and escalation pathways.
-
Develop and maintain accessible guidance and tools (e.g. SOPs, templates, decision trees, manager toolkits, knowledge articles and workflow guidance), translating policies into practical, up-to-date resources aligned with legislation and organisational practice, while creating digital knowledge content and AI-ready resources to support self-service channels and improve access to HR guidance in conjunction with IT team.
-
Ensure consistent, high-quality advice delivery through quality standards, QA activity and use of data insights to identify risks, capability gaps and opportunities for improvement.
-
Build team capability through training, coaching and targeted development to enhance confidence and expertise.
-
Enable manager self-service by developing effective tools and guidance, promoting digital solutions (e.g. Copilot, ServiceNow) and reducing reliance on manual support. Continuously improve self-service resources to ensure managers can easily access accurate HR guidance, processes and documentation.
-
Collaborate with Business Partners and People Services to align on policy interpretation and provide feedback to drive continuous improvement.
-
Ensure governance, risk and compliance by aligning advice with policy and legislation, supporting early escalation of risks, and maintaining robust documentation and audit readiness.
-
Partner with Digital, Internal Communications and People teams to improve how HR information is structured, accessed and consumed through self-service and AI-enabled solutions, supporting the implementation and continuous improvement of digital HR tools, including Copilot-enabled and AI-driven resources.
