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.

One day you might be supporting managers with a recruitment campaign, welcoming new starters and coordinating inductions. The next you could be analysing engagement survey results, improving a People process, creating internal communications content, or helping implement new ways of working through HiBob, our new HR system.

You'll thrive in this role if you're curious, people focused and proactive, with a passion for improving experiences, solving problems and making things better. You'll bring strong organisational and communication skills and a desire to develop. Some experience of HR systems, recruitment or people processes would be helpful, but we know great candidates don't always tick every box. If this role excites you, we'd love to hear from you and discuss how we can support your development, including towards a CIPD Level 5 qualification if that's not something you already have.

The role is based at Blue Boar House in central Oxford with hybrid working. Our expectation is that you'd spend approximately 60% of your time working together in person across a month. 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.
