We’re driven by our purpose of saving lives and ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. Last year alone we responded to over 3,300 incidents. We are fearless and tireless in fighting to save every life.

Our charity headquarters and forward operating base are located at Rochester Airport, with our aircraft hangar and maintained at Redhill Aerodrome. When the call comes, we can reach any part of Kent, Surrey or Sussex in under 30 minutes.

Key Responsibilities

You will be part of a small team of specialists who lead, advise and support the business and help deliver our strategy.

With around 160 staff members the HR Team play a hugely important role in all aspects from recruitment to learning, wellbeing to pensions. It is a small team, and we need someone with experience to deal with the multiple facets of HR and someone who is a “doer”. You should be as happy developing strategy as you are running a welcome induction. Life will not be boring, and you will work with some incredible people, and experience some incredible stories. You will go home every day knowing you have made a difference.

This role will require an experienced HR generalist with some knowledge of payroll. First and foremost, the postholder will lead the HR systems and management activity across KSS and ensure with the support of the team that the Core People Tasks are fulfilled to a high standard each month. Therefore, great team management and organisational skills are essential.

Secondly, the postholder in partnership with the People Business Partner will support the senior leadership team, managers and staff throughout the organisation to deal with HR related matters in whatever form they take.

Empathy and an understanding of the importance of process are important characteristics.

Thirdly, with the core tasks complete there is then freedom to develop our approach to HR, internal culture and learning and put your own stamp on KSS. The postholder will work closely with all business areas to align the HR strategies with the business goals and organisational culture. By developing meaningful organisational-related policies, practices, and processes and, working with internal stakeholders, the postholder will take the lead on business strategies that could focus on a myriad of areas such as culture development, learning, organisational effectiveness, EDI, employee engagement or reward. Anything that makes us better employers and a great place to work. Being innovative and building great working relationships are key to success.

We’d like the postholder to have strong UK employment legislation knowledge, but we do not expect to find anyone who specialises in all activities or the systems we use, but familiarity with any of the systems named in the job profile will be an advantage. We are also willing to consider part time working for the right candidate with exceptional HR experience. In essence we can be flexible to build the right team with the skills we need.

The Vacancy

Do you enjoy Employee Relations casework? Do you have the ability to work with managers and staff to stop small problems from becoming bigger? We are a close-knit, friendly and informal HR team, where we support each other and keep learning.

We're keen to hear from you, not a computer, so please don't use AI to write your application!

Understanding of the housing sector would be desirable but is not essential.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We need you to ensure all people managers are equipped with the knowledge and skills to manage employee relations in their teams and maintain a positive working environment in which their staff can flourish. Casework will include absence management, performance management, disciplinary and grievance issues, misconduct investigations, bullying and harassment, unlawful discrimination, redundancies, work-life balance requests and all aspects of family leave. You’ll also support formal meetings as note-taker and adviser.

Owing to our positive culture, we don’t have a large volume of serious ER issues, so you’ll have plenty of time to coach, support and train managers on all aspects of employee relations, through a variety of 1-1 meetings, informal training sessions (over Teams or in person) and briefings. You’ll meet regularly with managers to develop a thorough understanding of their business areas, and help them to identify and resolve emergent issues before they become more serious.

ABOUT YOU:

We do need you to have mastery of the basics, so it’s essential you bring the following:

• A thorough and sophisticated understanding of how to advise on absence management, performance management, disciplinary & grievance issues and family leave.

• Either CIPD Level 5, or the ability to show that you have an equivalent level of understanding (which is equally acceptable).

WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND TRAVEL:

You’ll be able to work remotely, but you’ll travel regularly to our sites across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, once or twice a week and as needed. You’ll need your own vehicle (we will reimburse work mileage). You won’t be constantly on the road – a lot of your work can be done over Teams, but you’ll want to get to know your managers face-to-face.

HOW TO APPLY:

On clicking apply, you will be redirected to our website to complete your application.

You MUST write a short covering letter - you don't need to spend very long on this, but it must clearly address the following areas:

• Why our organisation and role seem right for you.
• Your experience of casework relevant to this role – see the job description and please provide enough detail.
• Your experience supporting, guiding, coaching and training managers (NB - you don’t need formal coaching/training experience).
