Hr operation manager jobs

Help create a place where people feel welcome.

At Likewise, we believe that places matter.

Every day our Community Hub is used by clients, community members, volunteers, students, partners and staff. People come here for support, community activities, therapy, learning, work, a cup of tea or simply to spend time with others. The way the Hub feels and functions has a real impact on people's experience. 

We're looking for someone to take ownership of the spaces, systems and practical coordination that help everything work well.

This role combines facilities, operations, coordination and community in a way that's quite unusual. You'll look after the day-to-day running of our building, support the wider organisation, coordinate room hire, oversee health and safety, improve systems and help create an environment where people feel welcome and colleagues have what they need to do their best work.

You'll probably enjoy this role if you like creating order, improving how things work and taking ownership. You're someone who notices what needs attention, whether that's a space, a process or a practical problem, and enjoys sorting it out. You get satisfaction from helping things run well and from creating places where people enjoy being.

Likewise is a community-centred mental health charity based in Camden. We believe people thrive through meaningful relationships, supportive communities and opportunities to contribute. We're also trying to build a different kind of organisation—one that values trust, autonomy, learning and shared responsibility. People here are encouraged to think for themselves, contribute ideas and take ownership of their work. 

This role would suit someone with experience of coordinating an office, community space, workplace or similar environment who enjoys balancing practical organisation with working alongside people. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

People are at the heart of everything we do at UCCF.

Over the last two years, we've invested significantly in building excellent People practices across UCCF. We've strengthened our policies, improved our processes, created clear foundations for growth, and developed a People function that exists to help our staff thrive as they serve students across Great Britain.

Now we're entering an exciting new chapter.

We're launching a brand new HR system (HiBob), modernising the way we work, refreshing key policies and practices, and creating a more connected employee experience across the organisation. We're looking for a People Advisor who wants to help shape what comes next.

The role

This is a varied and rewarding generalist HR role with responsibility across the employee lifecycle. You'll take a lead on key areas including recruitment, onboarding and internal communications, while also supporting HR operations and projects across the wider organisation.

For many people this typically works out as around three days per week in the office, although conference attendance and occasional travel may mean some weeks look different. Our office is located in the heart of Oxford with views of the dreaming spires and every lunch option you can imagine right on our doorstep.

If that sounds exciting, we'd love to hear from you.

Are you driven by the belief that every woman deserves the chance to shape her future, no matter her past?

We are an award‑winning national charity, the UK’s only employment charity dedicated solely to supporting women with convictions.

Driven by our vision of a society where no woman is held back by her past, we work to ensure every woman has the support, encouragement and opportunities she needs to reset her life and thrive.

We challenge misconceptions about women with convictions and raise awareness of the issues that often sit behind women’s offending. At the heart of our work is a simple belief: a conviction should never define a woman’s future.

About the role

We’re looking for a new HR Lead to build on our existing policies and processes and take our inclusive, and high-performing culture to the next stage. As HR Lead, you will be integrated across the organisation, working at both strategic and operational levels to develop our people practices. You will have experience across the HR spectrum but will be especially skilled at coaching managers, undertaking employee relations casework, recruitment, developing organisational culture, and implementing equity, diversity and inclusion within HR practices. Your ability to build trusting relationships with a wide range of people will set you apart, as will your passion for the work we do.

What we offer

You’ll be joining a supportive, values‑driven team who care deeply about the women we work with. Alongside a competitive salary, we offer flexible working, a generous holiday allowance, wellbeing days and time off for your birthday.

Flexibility

Our London-based staff operate on a hybrid model, working from our office at London South Bank University (one minute from Elephant and Castle tube station) on Mondays and Tuesdays, with the remainder of the week worked from home. Full-time staff are expected to attend the office on both days, while part-time staff are required to attend on one of these days only. We also have staff based outside London who work fully remotely.

The HR Lead role is a two-day-per-week position. We would like the postholder to work from the London office on either Monday or Tuesday (or both days if preferred), with flexibility over when the remaining hours are worked, provided there is a consistent working pattern each week.

We want to be representative of the people we are here to support, so we welcome applications from people with lived experience. For more information, please take a look at our Recruitment of People with Lived Experience Policy below.

We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented professional to join us as HR & Operations Officer. This role champions Capitals Coalition’s people-focused approach to operations as it plays a key role in supporting core organizational processes across HR, IT, travel, and events.

Responsibilities include support for a range of HR activities – such as administration, staff wellbeing, training and development, and recruitment – alongside coordinating team meetings, IT support, travel arrangements, and events coordination, and occasional fundraising support.

This role suits someone process-driven, independent, and motivated to improve operations for a purpose-driven team of around 30 people. The successful candidate will be comfortable working remotely, confident with IT and problem-solving, and able to work with a high degree of autonomy while strengthening the Coalition’s internal infrastructure. You will join the Operations team, alongside dedicated finance and HR roles, helping the organization run efficiently while supporting our team.
