Employee Relations Advisor
Salary: £33,707 Per Annum + Benefits
Location: Hatfield, Hertfordshire
Type: Full time (37.5 hours per week, Monday-Friday)

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.
• Evidence of continuous professional development to demonstrate that you manage the gaps in your experience.
• 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).

We will be interviewing on a rolling basis so please don't delay applying. Start date ideally from January 2025.

• Manage multiple priorities simultaneously while providing the highest level of stewardship to all supporters. 

• Contribute to departmental income reporting, budgeting, and forecasting. 

• Ensure the pipeline of prospects and partners is kept up to date across all income streams. 

• Develop and implement safeguarding procedures relevant to the role, ensuring children, community members, staff, and volunteers are protected from harm. 

About You

• Experience in a corporate and community fundraising environment.

We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health, and wellbeing both in and outside of work. 

We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to improve the lives of children every day. 

Closing date: Monday 9th December 2024

This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

Ways of Working:

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office.  This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building. 

Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense. 

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:

We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
