• Experience managing change or supporting organisational growth

• Familiarity with IRMO’s programme areas and services

We aim at all times to recruit the person most suited to the job and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from people who identify as members of minority groups, and from Latin Americans and people with lived experience of the immigration and asylum system, to reflect the community we serve. 

We understand that some candidates may use generative AI tools to support their application. This is fine – but please note that we will review applications for signs of AI-generated content. Applications that appear heavily AI-written, especially where responses feel generic or lack personal insight, may be marked down.

This role involves producing high-quality written materials that reflect IRMO’s voice and values, so we’re looking for someone who can write clearly and authentically in their own words.

We're seeking an experienced Interim HR Business Partner to cover a period of maternity leave for 12 months and work closely with senior leaders and managers across assigned business areas, providing guidance, coaching, and practical support on a wide range of people-related activity.

You'll help implement directorate people plans, support employee engagement and development, and contribute to cyclical initiatives including salary reviews, succession planning, and surveys. Working collaboratively with recruitment and finance colleagues, you'll help forecast future resourcing needs and ensure alignment with wider organisational goals.

This role requires confidence in handling complex employee relations matters, from wellbeing and absence to performance and grievance, always favouring early intervention and tailored advice.

As our HR Business Partner you will build strong relationships with managers and create space for informal resolution, promoting best outcomes through coaching rather than policy alone.

You'll keep up to date with employment legislation and use your insights to influence decisions, manage risk and ensure fairness. You'll also engage with external providers when needed, including legal advisors and occupational health support.

To succeed, you'll bring strong generalist HR experience, proven knowledge of employment law, and excellent communication and analytical skills. You'll be CIPD qualified (or equivalent) with a calm, empathetic approach and the ability to balance diplomacy with decisive action will be key.

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, whose mission is to see a time when no deaf person feels alone, is seeking a commercially-driven professional to lead the charity’s efforts to explore, test and grow new income-generating products and services that align with their mission and values.

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People has been creating life-changing partnerships between hearing dogs and deaf recipients since 1982. As well as acting as an ear to their partners and alerting them to sounds, the charity’s clever and expertly trained dogs help deaf people to live life with confidence and independence, whilst providing love, companionship and emotional support.

Following on from a strategic review, the charity is now looking to build a new Income Generation Directorate, to enable them to transform many more lives across the UK. The Head of Commercial will play a central role in this growth, helping Hearing Dogs deliver their goals to diversify income and expand their philanthropic and commercial programmes.

The position of Head of Commercial is a strategic role within the new team, looking beyond traditional fundraising and identifying commercially viable opportunities that can deliver both financial return and social impact, whilst aligning with the charity’s mission and values. Working across departments within the organisation, the post-holder will seek and assess the viability of areas of work for commercial income generation, developing pilot projects and reviewing existing commercial activity at Hearing Dogs, as well as the actions required to increase profitability.

The successful candidate will have proven experience in commercial development, business planning or innovation in a charity, social enterprise or private sector organisation. They will also have demonstrable success in scoping new products or services and developing robust business cases. Strong commercial acumen will be a must, alongside a strategic mindset and an entrepreneurial approach. Finally, they will possess excellent analytical, financial modelling and project management skills, as well as being a confident communicator able to influence senior stakeholders and make the case for investment.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape a high-impact commercial function at a moment of transformational growth for the charity, with the flexibility of working remotely or spending time at Hearing Dogs’ stunning bases in Buckinghamshire or Yorkshire, with friendly and passionate staff and their four-legged friends.
