HR Consultant (1279)

Terms of Reference 

HR Consultant

Term:  18 months 

Reporting to: Chief Operating Officer, matrixed to Director of International Operations

Context:

In 2020 Oxfam Great Britain (OGB) restructured across the whole organisation.  At that time, the HR Teams for corporate and retail combined to become one team, and the International HR team moved to become part of the International Operations team which provides business support to countries where Oxfam works.  Generally capacities across the organisation were reduced as there was a requirement for cost efficiencies at that time.

Since the restructure the teams have been working very hard to establish themselves in the new organisational structures.  Whilst the teams have delivered some great work, they have been hampered by a significant amount of additional  demands that have arisen from both the external environment; furlough, lockdowns affecting our shops operations, continued financial challenges, post Covid hiring context and internally; recruitment & retention issues, some continuing embedded ways of working, ongoing organisational changes, significant strategic and culture change activity underway and low morale across all teams organisationally resulting in increased employee relations matters. 

We have increased capacity and resource across both teams in an effort to provide stronger support and partnership to the organisation, however there remain issues and concerns across both teams who continue to be very stretched and as a result not yet fully meeting organisational expectations.

At the same time, the wider Oxfam confederation is undergoing further transformational activity in a piece of work that will bring together the teams who provide operational business support to all Oxfam countries across the organisation – this is currently delivered by four different Oxfam organisations.  The intention is to harmonise work and practice across all business support teams to create a One Oxfam approach for all countries, and restructure to enable a shift of this work to align with line management ultimately reporting into Oxfam International (OI) in Kenya. 

We wish to bring in additional strategic HR resource to conduct a review of HR operations across both Corporate and International HR teams resulting in recommendations to support our operations now, and to work with the teams to contribute strategic HR support to the plans for future organisational transformation.

The role will be a consultant to the COO and International Operations Director whilst being a mentor to the senior HR leadership.

Location: Remote in the UK with occasional hybrid options to work in Oxford (where convenient).

The Role:

Core Objectives:

1. Conduct a review of HR capability, capacity & structures across both corporate and international teams with the aim to produce recommendations to enable more effective ways of working. Once complete this role will support the organisation with implementation of the recommendations.
2. Provide organisational development support to OGB and OI colleagues in the HR workstream working on business transformation. Both those working on overall design of the new combined structure and those working on the implications of TBS for OGB's structure and role in the future. This will contribute to effective delivery of business operations for the confederation, alongside a clear vision for the future operating modal for Oxfam Great Britain.
3. Provide mentoring and coaching support to the HR leaders across the structure.

Skills & Experience required:

• Significant demonstrable foundational and progressive Global HR experience at a senior level
• Strong, feminist leader who is naturally inclusive by nature and identifies strongly with Oxfam values and strategic aims to enable a safe, anti-racist, feminist and inclusive organisation.
• Experience of working across all HR disciplines including, organisational development, HR operations and reward
• Experience in leading & delivery of transformational change through others whilst championing employee engagement
• Ability to operate in a complex, multi faceted, geographically dispersed organisation within an international context, preferably with experience in regions of the world similar to or where Oxfam is working.
• Significant experience of working across different cultures.
• Strong influencing skills and collaborative approach – works across teams and functions to build shared solutions to deliver organisation goals.
• Agility - finds ways to make things happen whilst not losing focus on the future landscape.
• Courageous – prepared to challenge thinking and beliefs and offer new ideas and approaches to realise our ambitions.
• Self aware and demonstrates humility and resilience

C4C endeavours to accelerate the pace of change by delivering talented professionals who offer a combination of both the required skill sets and a passion for social change. We are committed to building diverse teams that are more representative of the communities our clients serve, and we encourage the transition of human capital across sectors.

C4C is going through a period of transition and growth as the social impact/ investment market develops and the search for talented individuals with the right social motivation becomes ever more crucial. We have led recruitment processes for organisations such as Power to Change, an independent charitable trust, Big Society Capital, the UK’s leading social impact investor, and Fair4All Finance, a non-profit organisation founded to increase the financial wellbeing of people in vulnerable circumstances—and our client base is growing fast.

Every hour, two people are diagnosed with Parkinson’s. In fact, it’s the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. So we urgently need new treatments, more support for people living with the disease and more funds to find a cure. Enter Parkinson’s UK. In the last 50 years, we’ve invested more than £100 million in cutting-edge research to uncover the causes of Parkinson’s. We believe we’re close to finding a solution. But to get there, we need more people like you.

We know that our 430 employees and nearly 4,000 volunteers are key in helping us to achieve our strategic objectives. The People Committee plays an integral role in helping our Board and executive team ensure we put people affected by Parkinson’s first and live our values, as well as supporting good governance in relation to people matters.

As an Independent Member, you’ll help us attract the right talent to our Board and committees – gifted, experienced professionals with the skills, vision and personality to take our organisation to the next level. You can expect plenty of opportunities to contribute as you help to bring our People Strategy to life, oversee our recruitment and induction framework, provide advice on succession planning and champion best practice in inclusion, equality and diversity. 

To complement our collective skillset we are looking to appoint an Independent Member of the People Committee with experience in leading people and significant knowledge in one or both of the following areas:

• Equality, diversity and inclusion policies and practices

• Operationalisation and delivery of plans, projects and ideas

You may be completely new to working with a Board or Committee, or you may have lots of experience, but to be successful in the role the ideal candidate will:

• apply a modern, people-centric mindset to the strategic leadership of our staff and volunteers, helping our people make as much impact as possible

• be a champion for modern, people-first approaches

• possess strong interpersonal and relationship-building abilities and work effectively as a member of a diverse team

• have experience using digital tools to work collaboratively and productively or a willingness to learn

• be committed to the seven Nolan Principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership 

The role will involve approximately three to four half-day meetings each year, plus preparation time beforehand, as well as providing occasional informal input and advice. You may also be requested from time to time to contribute to sub-group work or to attend  assessment and interview panels.

For more information, please click on the Apply button.

In return, we offer a comprehensive induction, ongoing opportunities to develop your knowledge and skills, repayment of your out-of-pocket expenses – and all the satisfaction of shaping a charity that’s tackling one of the world’s fastest growing neurological conditions. You’ll certainly meet some inspiring and amazing people along the way!
