Advice team leader jobs

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.

Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled individual to serve as Coordinator, leading the mission of Street Pastors in Kingston. The ideal candidate for this role will be a person of integrity who is able to demonstrate experience and potential in leadership of Christian outreach and mission. They should have experience leading and managing volunteers in a relevant context. They should possess effective organisational and communication skills and demonstrate a passion for building and sustaining partnerships around community outreach.

Context

Kingston Street Pastors is a churches initiative which has been operating since 2006 deploying Christian volunteers in the town centre in the night time to Care, Listen and Help. We enjoy excellent relationships with key stakeholders in Kingston’s night time economy including our local council, police and businesses. Within the wider Street Pastors movement we have made significant contributions over the years to develop policy and practice and have worked closely with neighbouring Street Pastors initiatives and with the Ascension Trust. For governance purposes Kingston Street Pastors operates as an affiliated project of Oxygen, a Kingston based youth work charity.

Our key strategic priorities are to maintain and build on the positive relationships we have with our local council, the police and businesses in the night time economy, taking advantage of opportunities for collaboration, accessing funding and other forms of support. We are perennially focused on the recruitment of new volunteers to serve as Street Pastors and Prayer Pastors to sustain and grow our capacity to deploy teams to the streets.

About the Role

This role has a Genuine Occupational Requirement for the post holder to be a practicing Christian (as outlined by 2010 Equality Act, Section 9)

Our new Coordinator will work closely with the Street Pastors Deputy Coordinator, leading the regular operations of Kingston Street Pastors and the deployment of teams while also overseeing the strategic development of the initiative in response to emerging needs and opportunities. 

Applicants should have people skills and demonstrate an ability to solve problems using a range of creative solutions including working with volunteers or using technology in new ways. The ideal candidate will have an ability to work flexibly and manage their time and resource effectively amidst competing priorities. 

A strong applicant will also be able to demonstrate the following:

• A passion for the role the Church plays in our local community and an ecumenical ethos which is appreciative of a diversity of Christian traditions.

• A good understanding of the night time economy, its users and key stakeholders.

This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check and suitable references including at least one reference from a church minister.

The opportunity:

This is a senior role with responsibility for the strategic direction, quality and impact of We Belong’s youth development portfolio. Reporting to the CEO and working as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will lead programmes spanning early intervention, educational attainment, further and higher education, employability, skills development, youth leadership and progression into positive opportunities.

You will oversee the Let Us Learn Programme, Emerging Young Leaders Programme, Schools Excellence Programme and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Bronze programme. You will also strengthen young people’s influence within We Belong through the Core Group, ensuring that lived experience informs organisational priorities and programme development.

The Context:

Following the landmark Supreme Court judgment in the Tigere case, which helped secure fairer access to higher education for young migrants, We Belong has continued working to ensure that young people can progress into higher education. This has included successful campaigning to increase scholarship opportunities and building strong relationships with educational institutions across the UK.

However, more work is needed. Young migrants can experience significant barriers to educational attainment, further and higher education, employment and personal development because of their immigration status.

These barriers can arise long before a young person reaches the point of applying to university, beginning an apprenticeship or entering employment. We recognise that university is not the only pathway to success and that young people should be supported to explore a range of routes that reflect their ambitions, strengths and circumstances.

Early intervention is therefore essential to ensure that young migrants understand their rights, receive accurate information and appropriate support, and are able to make informed decisions about their education, training, employment and future.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about working with young people, supporting their development and creating pathways for them to achieve their ambitions.

If successful, the applicant will be joining an award-winning youth charity and a staff team dedicated to improving outcomes for young migrants between the ages of 16-25 years old and empowering young people to create change.

As a People Adviser, you will deliver a high-quality, responsive HR service to our corporate teams based in London. You will provide expert advice and support to managers and employees, helping to ensure people practices align with employment legislation and best practice. You will coach and empower managers to confidently lead on people matters, providing guidance and support when needed.

This is a 12 month fixed term opportunity at 35 hours per week, but we are always happy to discuss flexible working, part time hours and job share arrangements.

What we can offer you:

In return for your commitment to our cause and to recognise the value of our employees, Battersea offers a range of benefits to support the wellbeing of our employees. These include:

• 28 days of annual leave (plus 8 days paid public holidays) per year.
• Discounted gym memberships and cycle to work schemes.
• Employee Assistance Programme and access to Wellbeing Resources.
• Generous pension contributions - up to 10% employer contribution.
• Free healthcare cash plan, where you can claim for a range of treatment including dental, optical, physiotherapy, chiropody and acupuncture every year.
• Annual interest-free season ticket loans.

We are also committed to providing learning and development to our employees. During your time with us, we provide support for your professional and career development, including access to digital and in-person training programmes, leadership and management training, mentoring and much more.

Our hybrid working model:

We operate a 50% onsite hybrid working model, with our office-based staff splitting their time between site based and home working. This enables our office-based staff to balance the benefits of home working with onsite collaboration and maintaining a connection to our cause.

Diversity and inclusion:

We are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive experience for all staff, volunteers and trustees and those hoping to join us. We operate an anonymised shortlisting process and actively seek to ensure our process is fair and equitable for all.

We understand the value of diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences to help us deliver even more for our dogs and cats, and we welcome applicants from all sections of the community.

As a Disability Confident Committed Employer we will ask about any adjustments you may need at application and/or interview stage, and if you are offered a role with us, we’ll talk to you about any workplace adjustments you may need to help you perform at your best. Greyscale copies of the recruitment pack are also available on request.

More about us:

At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help. We give each one lots of love, expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that’s just right for them. Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.

Acceptable use of AI:

At Battersea, we value expertise. We recognise each candidate that applies to us will have a range of expertise they can offer us, so we want to hear about this in your own words. We understand the support that generative artificial intelligence (AI) software can offer but it can also lead to numerous applications presenting as generic and impersonal. This makes it difficult to gain understanding of your unique experience.

To best showcase yourself, we encourage you to write your responses without the assistance of AI. If you require the use of AI software to aid in completing your application, we ask you use the generative responses as a prompt for writing your answers and avoid copying and pasting. You must also ensure the information presented in your application accurately reflects your experience.
