Greenpeace UK is an independent national/regional organisation within the global Greenpeace campaigning network, which acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace. The global network of Greenpeace organisations comprises 26 independent national/regional Greenpeace organisations with presence in over 55 countries across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, as well as a coordinating and supporting organisation, Greenpeace International.

In this role, you’ll be delivering high-quality, proactive advice and support across key HR policies and processes, including diversity and inclusion, recruitment, wellbeing support, people and performance management.

We'll also expect you to take on project work contributing to strategic objectives, and to continually promote and improve HR services to meet organisational needs and boost the effectiveness of Greenpeace as a whole.

Location: Islington, London. Our hybrid working model enables us to enjoy the benefits of both office based and remote working. We ask that staff work from the office in Islington 40% of their time, with 20% required as a minimum. Reasonable adjustments as well as specific office based needs will be considered for those with long term health conditions and disabilities.

• Strong generalist HR experience to build effective professional relationships and provide wide-ranging advice to staff and managers.
• CIPD qualification and/or evidence of professional operational experience to equivalent standard.
• The ability to identify, manage and report on HR metrics to inform HR solutions.
• A creative and analytical approach to HR problem solving, with the ability to critically appraise HR policies and processes and suggest improvements.
