Make a Difference Every Day
Are you the person everyone turns to when managers need guidance, colleagues need support, and development needs a fresh approach?
We're looking for an experienced and creative HR & Learning Advisor to join our team and help our people thrive.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys combining practical HR advice with innovative people development. You'll work closely with managers to navigate people challenges, support colleague wellbeing and performance, and create learning experiences that help our people grow and succeed.
If you love helping people reach their potential, enjoy building strong relationships and aren't afraid to try new approaches, we'd love to hear from you.
About the Role
This isn't your typical HR role.
Around half of your time will be spent acting as a trusted advisor to managers, providing expert guidance on people matters and supporting a positive workplace culture.
The other half will focus on people development, where you'll have the opportunity to design and deliver bespoke programmes, workshops and resources that reflect our values, culture and ambitions.
We're looking for someone who can think creatively, challenge the status quo and bring fresh ideas to how we support, develop and empower our colleagues.
Key responsibilities will include:
· Provide proactive HR advice and guidance to managers and colleagues.
· Support employee relations, wellbeing, performance and attendance management.
· Coach managers to confidently manage people-related matters.
· Deliver people initiatives that support engagement, inclusion and organisational success.
· Design and deliver creative learning and development programmes.
· Create engaging learning resources and development pathways.
· Identify development needs and evaluate the impact of learning activities.
· Support talent development, onboarding and career progression across the organisation
We're Looking for Someone Who…
- Has a CIPD Level 5 qualification (or equivalent HR experience).
- Has proven HR advisory experience and enjoys solving people challenges.
- Is confident supporting managers with sickness absence, wellbeing, performance and employee relations matters.
- Has experience designing, delivering or supporting engaging learning and development initiatives.
- Builds trusted relationships and provides practical, solutions-focused advice.
- Has excellent communication, coaching and influencing skills.
- Is organised, proactive and able to manage competing priorities.
- Thinks creatively and enjoys developing innovative people and learning solutions.
If you don't meet every requirement but feel your skills, experience or potential make you a strong candidate, we encourage you to apply.
