Hr Support Jobs

Yeldall Manor is a Christian recovery centre for men wanting to overcome their addiction problems. We have created this new part-time position to provide consistent and professional HR support to the organisation, bringing together various roles currently undertaken by a few different staff members.

The role will suit someone who can work under their own initiative (after training in our charity practices), experienced in overseeing the employee journey from recruitment and retention to departure. You will act as the first point of contact for HR-related queries, and ensure that the charity is compliant with all relevant legislation. This will involve dealing with all employment matters, building robust policies & procedures, and implementation across the organisation. You would also be responsible for preparing the staff rota and all related administration. We do not currently have HR software, so reviewing our requirements in this area would be one of your responsibilities. Please see the job description for full information about this varied post.

As a small charity (c. 35 staff including part-time and casual workers), the role will require balancing practical and administrative tasks with management responsibilities. We anticipate that you'll be based in the office for at least two days out of the three days/24 hours worked per week. This is in a lovely rural setting near Twyford (Reading) and, being situated within the rehabilitation centre, you will have daily contact with those men whom you are ultimately helping. They inspire and motivate us just as much as we seek to encourage and support them. 

As this is a strategic post within an actively Christian setting, applications should be from committed Christians. Schedule 9, Part 1:3(a) of the Equality Act 2010 applies.

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced HR & Ops Manager to help ensure the Trust is a well-run organisation.

We believe that Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust needs to be a well-run organisation that enables the delivery of our vision, mission and strategy. How we run the Trust underpins all the work that we do. We need supported, skilled, motivated and committed Trustees, staff and volunteers. We need to ‘practise what we preach’ by striving to reduce our own negative impact on the environment, for example, by reducing our carbon footprint. We also recognise the lack of diversity within our organisation and that we need to reach out to those in our community who are not well represented on our Board, or as part of our staff or volunteer team.

Working closely with the CEO, you will provide HR advice and leadership, looking after our staff across wellbeing, training, diversity & inclusion and employment systems & procedures. Managing the Support Service team, you will oversee office systems including IT (supplied by an external contractor), premises, vehicles and other resources as well as support the improvement, development and compliance with our policies and procedures, especially in relation to HR, safeguarding, EDI and H&S.

Reporting to the Head of Finance & Support Services, who focuses on strategic and operational financial management and audited accounts, you will manage a small team and a budget of c.£150,000. There will be a good degree of autonomy as the Head of Finance & Support Services is part-time. As with all charities, the Trust is constantly adapting and responding to issues in pursuit of our mission, so you need to be able to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced work environment.
