Interim Senior HR Consultant

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced HR generalist to join the dynamic environment of modern policing as an Interim Senior HR Consultant on a 10 month fixed term contract to cover maternity leave.

Our HR Consultancy Team provides internal customers of Bedfordshire Police, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Constabularies with expert advice and guidance on a wide variety of complex employment matters. Every day is busy and different, but this will typically include areas such as attendance, performance, conduct, grievances, pay matters and change management. The teams are aligned to the business to establish effective working relationships with departmental managers and the dedicated People Business Partner. This particular role supports collaborated departments across BCH including some of the more specialised areas of policing.

Reporting to the HR Consultancy Manager, you will have management responsibility for a team of HR Consultants and be accountable for the performance and delivery of localised HR support, identifying areas where improvements can be made to better support our customers. You will also have responsibility for a specific area of ER people practice and will work with internal and external peers to ensure efficient and innovative thinking in the relevant policies, processes, and methods of working.

We strongly support agile working and so there is flexibility for some homeworking and a work base of either Godmanchester (Huntingdon) or Hatfield. Please note, however, that you will be expected to work flexibly across sites in Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire as the work demands. Sites are accessible by public transport.
