As Senior People Officer, you'll play a key role in delivering a high-quality People service across SSAFA. This is a blended role, combining employee relations advice and case support with hands-on responsibility for wellbeing, employee engagement and inclusion. Working closely with managers and colleagues across the organisation, you will help to resolve people matters fairly across the full employee lifecycle, while also developing initiatives that strengthen employee experience and organisational culture.

This is not a specialist employee relations role, nor is it solely an employee engagement role.

We are looking for someone who is motivated by both aspects and is keen to broaden their experience across:

• Employee engagement, wellbeing and inclusion initiatives, from shaping ideas through to delivery and evaluation
• Employee relations advice and case management, with support to continue developing your knowledge and confidence
• Building relationships, influencing stakeholders and coaching managers
• Organisational change, culture activity and cross-organisational people projects
• Policy development, internal communications and continuous improvement

Based at SSAFA's Central Office in London, the role offers flexibility to work remotely in line with organisational needs. However, you must be willing and able to travel to the office at short notice when required.

About the team

You'll join a collaborative and supportive People & Organisational Development team that is passionate about delivering an excellent service and continuously improving the employee experience. We value partnership, professionalism, compassion and inclusion, working together to help colleagues and managers thrive. In this role, you'll work closely with:

• Learning & Organisational Development
• People Systems & Operations
• Leaders and managers
• Project and change teams
• Internal Communications and other corporate functions

This cross-organisational exposure will give you valuable insight into how different teams work together to support SSAFA's mission.

About you

You are someone who enjoys building relationships, listening to colleagues and turning feedback or ideas into practical improvements. You are comfortable working collaboratively across teams, communicating with different audiences and helping to create an inclusive and engaging employee experience. You will bring sound judgement, empathy and curiosity, and be able to manage changing priorities in a fast-paced environment.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has experience in a generalist HR, employee engagement, wellbeing, inclusion, or related people-focused role and is ready for the next step in their career.
• Can demonstrate experience of contributing to or delivering engagement, wellbeing, inclusion, culture or employee experience initiatives.
• Has a sound understanding of HR practice and employment law, with the willingness and ability to develop further practical experience in employee relations and case management.
• Can build trusted relationships, adapt their communication style and work collaboratively with colleagues, managers and stakeholders at different levels.
• Can organise and deliver activity, manage multiple priorities and follow through from idea to implementation.
• Is curious, proactive and committed to improving the employee experience, and is comfortable suggesting new approaches and encouraging participation.

You do not need to be an employee relations expert to apply. However, you must have a sound understanding of HR practice and employment law and be willing to develop your employee relations experience. Likewise, candidates with a stronger ER background should be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in engagement, wellbeing and inclusion work.

We will assess candidates across both employee relations and engagement to reflect the balanced nature of the role. We are interested in your transferable experience, your understanding of good people practice and employment law, and your willingness to learn.

About SSAFA

About the role:

At the Women’s Recovery Service, you’ll be part of a dedicated accommodation service supporting women who have experienced homelessness, VAWG, poor health, substance use, and exclusion from essential services.

This is more than a job in accommodation services: it is an opportunity to stand alongside women as they reclaim their strength, build new futures and shape their own recovery.

As our Specialist Multiple Disadvantage Worker you will bring expertise, creativity and determination to help women break down barriers and take steps forward with confidence. Every day is different – from providing one to one support and leading group sessions, to working with health, housing and VAWG partners to open up new opportunities. You will be a voice of encouragement and advocacy, ensuring women get the services and respect they deserve, and you will see the impact of your work in the real changes women make in their lives.

Joining Single Homeless Project means being part of an organisation that believes in your growth as much as the growth of our clients. You will be supported through training, reflective practice and career progression, giving you the chance to deepen your expertise and take your career in exciting directions. This role is your chance to make a lasting difference not only to the women you support but to how SHP continues to lead the way in ending homelessness for women across London.

*For genuine occupational requirement reasons, we are seeking female applicants only for this post (exemption under the Equality Act 2010; Schedule 9 Part 1). 

About you:

• Experience of supporting people facing homelessness and multiple disadvantage such as domestic abuse, substance use, and poor mental or physical health.
• Knowledge of women’s services and the impact of violence against women and girls (VAWG).
• Understanding of how statutory and community services operate, including health, social care, housing and criminal justice.
• Ability to engage and build trust with people who may be reluctant to accept support.
• Ability to manage a caseload effectively and balance competing priorities.

About us:

Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change. From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 12,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.

We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

Join us in creating a brighter, more hopeful future for individuals in need.
