Prospectus is delighted to be supporting a leading membership body who are the voice of the world’s solar energy industry - in the search for an exciting new addition to the team; a People and Culture Officer.
This international non-profit organisation with headquarters in London, represents national, regional and international associations, as well as leading solar sector corporations. It aims to enable solar energy to deliver on the promise of clean, distributed power, economic development and energy access.
Joining a small, proactive and collaborative team, the People and Culture Officer will work closely with the Operations Lead and CEO as the organisation’s HR expert. Initially, the role will focus on recruitment and onboarding to support the organisation’s strategic growth. Over time, there will be scope to develop the People and Culture function more broadly. The successful candidate will have experience in recruitment, HR administration or people operations, alongside a strong understanding of UK HR and employment practices and a relevant qualification. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and online collaboration tools is essential, and experience supporting remote or international teams would be advantageous. Experience working within a non-profit, membership or international organisation would also be desirable.
You will bring solid HR experience and confidence, with CIPD qualification (or equivalent experience). Experience within a not-for-profit or scale-up environment would be highly beneficial. Alongside technical expertise, key to success in this role will be strong interpersonal skills, including initiative, proactivity, ownership, accountability, and the ability to work confidently with senior stakeholders.
This role is offered on a three-day-per-week basis, with flexibility around working patterns. It is fully remote, with occasional meetings in Canary Wharf; travel expenses for these will be reimbursed.
Please apply in the first instance and we will contact suitable candidates for further conversations.
At Prospectus we invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you with your application. We welcome all candidates to apply, regardless of age, sex/gender, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, marital status or pregnancy/maternity.
