You will be joining us at an exciting time where we continue to grow and establish our ER team. We very much want your opinions and experience to form this growth.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an experienced HR professional who is currently operating at either a HR Consultant or HR Advisor capacity, or an individual who is looking for their next HR role as part of their career progression. What is important to us is that you are confident in your knowledge and hold the ability to provide advice to all levels within the Council.

Person fit is important to us, like our existing team we welcome dedicated and hardworking team players, who are not afraid to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in. Have the ambition to learn and take pride in what you do.

You will work three days per week, of which must incorporate with either a Thursday or Friday working day (one of), so that we have adequate handover with one of our HR Consultants.

What will you be doing?

You will provide expert advice to managers on grievance, disciplinary, performance and capability matters, some of which may be complex, or similar situations affecting employee terms and conditions. Process job evaluations as and when required. Provide support on management investigations, hearings and appeal panels procedures, as well as being part of the panel when required.

Travel will be required from time to time to various sites across our organisation.

Full details are provided in the Job Profile.
