HR Manager

We are a Christian Homelessness charity coming up to our 40th anniversary.  We believe our staff benefits show how passionate we are about our staff.  We believe staff are the foundation stone to the success of the charity and so we do everything we can to make sure they feel valued, supported, engaged and developed. If you are looking for a role with the ability to build something yourself, in an organisation that genuinely cares about your health and wellbeing, then this is for you.

We are seeking to recruit a dynamic and enthusiastic person to join our team as our HR Manager. Working closely with the Chief Operating Officer and Head of Finance, you will be expected to confidently lead the HR and Admin team and ensure the smooth running of this area through modern people techniques, strong leadership skills and a pro-active approach.  You will assist colleagues with Human Resources activities across the organisation and provide advice and guidance on HR. You will oversee recruitment, induction and training processes and ensure legislation, best practice and the ethos and values of the organisation are understood and adhered to across the organisation. You will maintain an accurate HR database and records for all employee processes as required. It would be expected that you would coordinate Data Protection for the organisation and ensure that we are GDPR compliant along with regularly reviewing HR policies to conform to current legislation and best practice.

The successful candidate will hold a relevant CIPD qualification (minimum level 5) or be working towards it and have proven experience working as an HR practitioner. You will have experience of using HR software and have excellent inter-personal and organisational skills. An up to date knowledge of HR legislation/best practice is essential as is knowledge of Data Protection (GDPR) legislation requirements. It goes without saying you will be highly discreet and confidential. The role requires attention to detail, excellent written and oral communication skills as well as excellent IT skills and a methodical approach to work.

As a Christian charity, there is an Occupational Requirement for the post-holder to be a practising Christian as per exemptions in The Equality Act 2010 (Schedule 9).
