HEAD OF HR

CARDINAL HUME CENTRE, WESTMINSTER, LONDON
FULL-TIME, £45,000 PA 

CLOSING DATE: Monday 1st February

FIRST INTERVIEWS: 16th and 19th February

• Are you passionate about preventing and tackling youth and family homelessness?
• Can you use your HR knowledge and leadership skills to help our Centre reach its full potential?
• Can you help build and champion a diverse, values-led team?

Over the past thirty years the Cardinal Hume Centre has seen substantial growth.  Based in Westminster we work hard for homeless young people, insecurely housed families and their children.  Last year, over 1600 people used our different services.

We have made real improvements in recent years, but we know we face challenging times.  In nearly all its forms, homelessness is increasing and in Westminster around a third of families live in poverty. People face the highest housing costs in the country, a challenging labour market and rising levels of violent crime.  Some of those we support come from care or broken relationships, some are seeking asylum, safety and support. 

Throughout the pandemic we have kept our services open, helping over 900 individuals and families since the lockdown began. Our commitment to this work means we have sustained our income during a difficult period.  We know however that the challenges of Covid-19 are not for the short term, and particularly now, our response is too important to be left to chance.

We are therefore changing our approach. We want to focus far more of our efforts on young people, children and families.  To tackle homelessness, poor housing and poverty at a young age and break its cycle into later life.  We want to see the value in each individual and nurture potential, helping young people and families to thrive.

It is a deliberately preventative strategy that requires a strong team.  The translation of new values, goals and objectives needs to be backed by the development of our staff.  We want to build a united, values led team and a Centre that meaningfully supports the progress of everyone that works for us.  Just as want to value the potential in our clients, so too do we need to value the potential in our staff and volunteers.  

As part of this we now want to recruit a new Head of HR.  Of course the role will include responsibility and management of our HR policies and processes, but alongside this will be leadership of a people strategy to build and develop a successful team.  In particular we need this role to champion diversity across the Centre and help us build leadership that more actively reflects the community we serve.

It is of course vitally important that you have professional expertise and experience of working in a similar or stand-alone role.  But equally important is a passion for the Centre’s mission, its values and an enthusiastic and collaborative approach.  We particularly want to encourage people from black and minority ethnic and other underrepresented groups to apply for this role and to support our efforts to build a more diverse and skilled leadership team.

You can find out more details and apply on our website.  For further information or a confidential discussion regarding the role please contact our CEO

You may have experience of the following: Head of HR, Human Resources, HR, Head of Human Resources, Organisational Development, HR Director, OD, Employment Law, CIPD, Consultant, Senior HR Manager, HRBP, Director of Human Resources, Strategy, Employee Relations, HR Business Partner, Charity, Charities, NFP, Not for Profit, etc.
