Job description

HR Advisor (maternity cover)

Reports to: People Partner

This is a full-time, fixed-term maternity cover on Crick terms and conditions of employment.

About us

The Francis Crick Institute is Europe’s largest biomedical research institute under one roof. Our world-class scientists and staff collaborate on vital research to help prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, infectious diseases and neurodegenerative conditions. 

The Crick is a place for collaboration, innovation and exploration across many disciplines. A space where the brightest minds can pursue big and bold ideas and discover answers to crucial scientific questions. We support them in a dynamic environment which fosters excellence with state-of-the-art infrastructure, cutting-edge facilities, and a creative and curious culture. We’ve removed traditional boundaries of departments, divisions and disciplines and instead have an open approach that supports every researcher. This gives us the freedom to take risks and carry out high-quality, pioneering research. Creating a space for discovery without boundaries helps us to turn our science into benefits for human health and the economy. 

About the role

We have an exciting opportunity for a People Advisor to join our fast-paced, supportive HR team at the Crick. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced People Advisor to join our friendly People Partnering team to provide maternity cover.

  • Support managers with restructures and redundancy processes with the ability to deliver the end-to-end process
  • Work in partnership with managers to proactively identifying people challenges and propose appropriate solutions in line with Crick values
  • Design and deliver management training

About you

You will have: 

  • Good level of experience at HR Advisor level, with evidence of working independently on  employee relations issues *
  • Strong influencing and coaching skills, with the ability and confidence to challenge constructively and build trust at all levels *
  • Excellent judgment and ability to balance risk and pragmatism in HR decisions *
  • A track record of leading or significantly contributing to HR projects or organisational change initiatives
